So sorry for Mr. Rock’s passing. Praying for your family!
We will truly miss Dick. Dick and Nancy were the very first people we met when we moved to Lasker four years ago. They became dear friends and we are so sorry to lose such a wonderful man. Our condolences to Nancy and the rest of his family. God bless him.
So sorry for your loss
That used to be the hangout for the kids in the community growing up in the 60’s. We would ride our bikes all the way from the outskirts of Lasker to congregate.He will be missed by so many.
Dick is a great man! he has a big heart. He owned a store in Lasker we all called the Lasker Mall. He had everything you could want or need. One of the few store owners that cared about his customers. RIP my friend.
The world is a less kind place but heaven is rejoicing! Love you, Dick. Godspeed!
