Dear Norma and family,
I am so saddened to hear of Dick's death. He was a great guy with a good sense of humor and always had a "Howdy Neighbor!" whenever I ran into him! He will be greatly missed by all who knew him and remembered with fond memories.

Dear Seyfried Family,
Back in the ’50’s, my dad, Andy Modak, and Dick “Uncle Fearless” Seyfried were hunting and fishing buddies. When my father would be laid off from construction/carpentry work during the winter, he and Uncle Fearless often had to take me with them while my mom was at work. I still have photos of them at Fletcher’s Floodwaters from when I was a toddler. “Uncle Fearless” (don’t ask me why he had that nickname) was always kind to me as a child and a good friend to my father. I’ve never forgotten him. We’re so sorry for your loss and we know he’ll be missed. With sympathy,
Denise Modak Kantner
