Hope you understand…

I don’t know where to begin to thank you for all of your Prayers and heartfelt condolences about the death of my youngest daughter Julie, who passed away suddenly one week ago today at the age of 45.

As you can imagine, the girls and I are still walking around in a fog of disbelief.

But I thought I’d take a deep breath - and a moment - and tell you a little bit about this wonderful Daughter, Sister, Wife and Mother to 9 year old Brayden.

Julie was the shiest of my girls - not surprising when you come into the world with 5 strong, older sisters. She was thoughtful and kind, funny and smart, and fiercely loyal. When Julie loved you - she did so with her whole heart.

She was passionate about Sports - and a terrific athlete in her own right. When she was growing up, she and I used to go outside and toss the football around. And what an arm!! Julie could throw a pass that would sail the length of 2 front lawns... and I used to think… “I finally got my boy! A really pretty one, but a boy!”

She married her College Sweetheart, Brad Johnson in 2002 and then, in 2012 they welcomed their son Brayden. “The Johnson Boys” as she called them were the center of her Universe. The family of three went everywhere together, whether it be a vacation in Florida or Caribbean Cruise - or a trip downtown to see her beloved Red Wings. Julie wanted Brayden to experience EVERYTHING. She couldn’t have known what a gift she was giving him.

We had a private service for Julie on Thursday attended by family and close friends. One after the other, people talked about how much she cared. How she was never too busy to ask how someone was doing - to lend an ear and a smile - and never ever let anyone leave without a hug goodbye and an “I Love You”. She got that from her Mom… along with her beautiful blue eyes.

As a Dad, I couldn’t be more proud of my little girl. Her loving heart and enthusiastic spirit will live on in our memories - and in my Grandson Brayden - who at 9 is already funny and wise beyond his years - and who we will continue to love with a passion matched only by Julie & Brad.

Over the years, people often referred to our Family as “Dick & Gail, and the 6 J’s” - Jennifer, Jackie, Jill, JoAnne, Jessica and Julie.

And we still are.

-Dick

It is with utter disbelief and a truly broken heart that I share the news that my youngest daughter Julie passed away suddenly Monday morning at the age of 45. . Julie had been battling Thyroid Cancer for the last few months… but was doing well after extensive surgery and radiation and looking forward to being completely healed. We don’t really know what happened… Maybe the treatments were too much - It appears that her heart simply stopped.

Julie… #6 as her 5 older sisters fondly called her… was an incredibly special girl who touched the lives of so many. She was kind and caring, loyal and loving… an amazing Mom to her 9 year old son Brayden and a devoted wife to her best friend and husband of 19 years, Brad. For my late wife Gail and Me… Julie was the happiest of surprises. To be honest, I can’t believe I’m talking about either of them in the past tense. But I take some solace in knowing that they are together again.

I will have more to share with you about my beautiful Julie in the days to come. For now, I just ask that you keep Brad, Brayden - and all of us - in your thoughts and Prayers.

Thank you so much.

Memorial Day 2021

Over my last few years on the air approaching Memorial Day Weekend, I recited the following poem in honor and in memory of the brave men and women of the Military who have laid down their lives that we may live ours.

That poem, “The Inscription”, was sent to me by a listener, Paul Reside. Paul’s Grandmother, Annabelle Gunnett Jones, penned it around 1932. The poem was picked up and published in the the Perry County, Ohio newspaper for a number of years on “Decoration Day”, or as we know it today - “Memorial Day”.

Annabelle was inspired to write the poem by her husband, a World War I Veteran, as a tribute to the Unknown Soldier. 

I hope you will share “The Inscription” with your family and friends.  In these turbulent times, it is imperative that we never forget the sacrifice our men and women in uniform have made, and continue to make today, so that we may live in freedom.  

Just click on the underlined link below to hear me reading the words written so long ago… that still resonate today.

Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Before that ginormous Chinese Rocket fell into the Indian Ocean this weekend, and everyone was worried about where it would land, my good buddy and former “Purtan’s Person” Joe Noune sent me this email describing a conversation he had with someone in his neighborhood…

“A female neighbor in my condo complex told me she was afraid that the Chinese rocket scheduled to come down this evening may end up landing in her parking space thus destroying her car. So she moved her car over 2 parking spaces. I told her, "Good thinking. Great Move! But you should know that the rocket is pretty good sized so you should have moved your car at least 4 parking spaces away." So she did”.

Turned out to be a smart decision… because it landed a mere 9000 Miles away in the Indian Ocean. Talk about a near-miss!
