In Dublin Mills, PA 6 hours south from Black Creek I listened to a preacher share the loss of a very special friend.  "Dick Botens", YES, I heard correctly.  He shared that "Dick was a Godly man.  He was the same everywhere you saw him.  Whoever you talked to, they would say the same."  God had my attention, as I knew exactly the man and character this unknown preacher spoke of.  Throughout the day, I have pondered the fond memories I have of both your mom and dad from the days when I attended Obi Community Church with them.  25 years this past July they attended our wedding.  I will cherish the memories & try to honor their legacy as they were both upstanding and outstanding people.  RIP I am sorry for your loss.  God's comfort and peace be with you all.

My sympathy to the entire Botens clan.
Dick was a great friend and associate and will be missed by all  NVZ

Tom, Pete, Tim, Andy and family, Wayne and I were sad to hear about Dad's passing.  Wayne has so many good memories of your family.  Please know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers.
