Funeral Services for Dick Vierra have been scheduled to be held Friday morning at 10:00 AM at the Taylor Funeral Home in Paonia, Colorado. Letters or cards of condolences should be sent to Richard Vierra ( Dick's son ) or to Helen & Lisa Reeves. Send to Dick's Post office Box number. P.O.Box 64, Paonia, Colorado, 81428.

I would highly recommend cards to the Reeves. Helen and her daughter were the closest persons that Dick had in the world other than relatives. They all looked after and took care each other for the last 30 years. Dick stayed at my house every time that he came to Vegas and he always had to call them while he was here. I talked to Dick the night he passed away and we had a very nice phone call. He was very happy with the Doctors visit that he had earlier in the day. He said the Doctor was pleased with his recovery and told him that if he could go another 10 days without geting another fever that he would be on the way back to a normal life. He said that this was the best he had felt in the last two months. He died later that night.

This as been a very difficult letter to write. Dick was more that just another collector or a friend. He was more like a family member. HE WILL BE MISSED BY EVERYONE THAT KNEW HIM.
