Dear Family of Dick,
Heaven has gained another bright light. . . rug hooker, teacher and mentor, Dick LaBarge .
I had the distinct honor of being one of Dick's students. Dick would lay down on the floor with you and color plan your rug, he would dive into the dye pots at a moments notice and all the while modeling a smoking jacket or tell a joke "Deese Will Fitter Her" (those that know Dick know the joke)
Dick was instrumental . . .Dick provided me the opportunity to teach the first time, taught me to dye by eye (but not to write the formulas down), love for Eleanor Roosevelt and instilled in me a deep love of Bed Ruggs.
When I told Dick how much he was a mentor to me, in true fashion his reply was "I gave you the keys but you opened the doors."
Saddened by his passing but know he and George are happy and together once again, makes my heart smile.
Lisanne
