Thinking of the special person that was Dick Bunte brings a smile to me this morning. Memories of golfing with him as a Bogey Buster are pure pleasure. Dick was one of a kind – a friend always ready to help. To Rosemary and family, we send our deep sympathy and God’s Blessings. Dick and Fern Heitholt
