His survivors include his wife Donna, daughter Lisa, son Richard (Bo) and wife TK.  Grandchildren Tori, Jason, Jackson, Brady and Madison.  He would never forgive us if we did not mention Shannon, his Christian aide whom he loved dearly.  She went above and beyond her responsibilities.  Took him to church, shopping and out for lunch.  The family owes her their undying gratitude.  Dutch leaves behind sisters Helen and Linda (Bill).  Quite a few nieces and nephews whom he loved dearly.  He loved his friends who he held close to his heart.

He will be missed greatly.
