A dear friend of mine, Richard Crebs (we always called him Dick) passed away at the age of 89. He was an amazing person and certainly exemplified what a father, husband, bishop and friend should be. I loved him and his wife, Glenda. We became fast friends right when we moved into the 8th ward. We spent summers at Lake Powell, boating and water skiing, Winters at Yellowstone, snowmobiling and many weekends through the year at their cabin in Oakley. We even went up to the cabin many times for New Years. We also spend almost every 4th of July at the cabin and going to the Oakley rodeo. So many memories that it is impossible to write them all. We played lots of Pinochle while eating pistachios and licorice. Glenda was a great cook and we had many delicious meals at her home over the years.
Neal and I went to his viewing tonight and it was so fun to connect with the Lauri, Ann Marie, Diane and Jana. The memories are wonderful and will be long remembered. Everyone who knew Dick loved him. We will miss you Dick. This is a picture of Dick awarding Jeffrey his Eagle Scout award.

Picture of the four of us playing pinochle in the motel in West Yellowstone. That is what we did almost every single night.
I have a really nice picture of Dick from his funeral. I'll post that later.
