A compassionate and sincere man, Dick dedicated his life in service to others through banking and community involvement.

Dick is survived by his wife Sandy of 57 years, their four children: Kristin (James) Kommer of Newark, Richard “Rick” (Mary-Theresa) Boerman of Rochester, Brian (Keeley) Boerman of Lansing, and Elise (Tony) Comella of Newark and beloved grandchildren: Brenna (Greg Curtis), Ryan (Kelly Eberle), Zack (Teagan Dolan), Bethany, Jerry, Jack, Iris, A.J., Fisher, and one great grandchild Maeve.
