To the Koehn Family, our thoughts and prayers are with you at a time of sadness at the loss of Dick. It is at these times that we think of all the great times shared and your memories of these events will last for your whole lifetime. We will miss him at the sidelines of our softball games where he was always cheering (and coaching). He was always fun to talk to when we worked on the project next to his house.
