We loved Dick and pray for peace and comfort for Tina and the entire family!! ❤️🙏🏻
I will never forget the joy Dick brought to my children when we received a picture of Santa knocking on our front door. Our talks as he walked his precious puppy are greatly missed. My heart goes out to all who knew and loved him!
Dick had a special spirit and was always up for a good time. He lived life to the fullest. It was definitely a life worth celebrating. Love to all of you.
A angel gained his wings! May God comfort you during your tome of sorrow and wrap you in his love. Keep your memories alive of all the special moments that you have had together and share with everyone. Love and prayers always. Steve & Rhonda Cutshaw

We will miss our dear, funny, loving friend. Dick had the biggest heart and a way of making my heart just smile when I was near him. We are so grateful for all our traveling memories but mostly for being able to share life with him. Tina, Love and condolences to you and the kids.
I am so sorry to hear of Dick’s passing. He was a very special man who loved life and loved his family. I believe he’s in a better a place now, smiling and laughing, meeting up with old friends and making new ones and no longer a burden to the people he loved most. God bless!
I am so sorry to hear of his passing. Shelley I know your Daddy is so proud of the amazing women you are. Prayers for the family that God wraps you in his arms and brings you peace and comfort.
Dick will always share a special place in my heart, he was a gentle and lovely man so full of life and love. He will be missed by all who had the joy of knowing him. He brought a keen sense of humor and welcoming hugs to every event he attended. My condolences to his family, friends and loved ones, Rest In Peace. I will have a scoop of ice cream tonight in his honor.
Dick always had a smile and good word; couple that with his wit and you had someone you wanted to spend time with! He was my ice cream scoop instructor—Natalie and I miss him already
Shelly, Tina and family we send hugs

I’m so sad to hear the passing of our favorite “Uncle Duck”! He will be missed terribly. Prayers for you Tina and the rest of our family. Love you! Love the Thomas Family
Dick was my friend and next door neighbor in Fountain Inn, and he brought a smile to my face each time I saw him as he walked his “pups” around his yard. He was also hilarious, and I enjoyed swapping tales from the past with him. I will truly miss this kind and sweet man; he indeed made this world a better place!
My prayers are with you at this time of sorrow.
Just know you dad is with our Lord & Savior.
God Bless
Condolences to the entire family.
Dick was such a joy to you and the kids you were all so blessed with his kindness and love. I am very sorry for your loss. He was your love and best friend and you were the same to him. Cindy Saunders

Time is tight and family and friend are even tighter. Dick was one of the first people I met in 1981 in the grocery industry. A true champion for showing young people the business and sharing his knowledge of the grocery industry. Gone to the ages and forever missed.
Lori and I our so sorry and give our condolences to the Pollard Family. You are all in our prayers. We know how much all of you loved Dick and he will be missed.
God Bless,
Lori and Mike Davis

We only found out today about Dick’s passing. He and Tina were very active with Schnauzer Rescue of the Carolinas for a long time and their compassion for these needy canines went far above and beyond what most volunteers do. It is with a heavy heart that we learned of Dick’s passing. All the friends and volunteers of SRC offer our sincerest condolences to Tina and her family. There are very few truly caring people left on this Earth in today’s society, and the Pollards are among those who stand head and shoulders above others because of their character and compassion for those in need. Dick now has jewels in his crown, and will be sorely missed by all who knew him. We at SRC owe both Dick and Tina a huge debt of gratitude. Our thoughts and prayers follow our dear friends during this challenging time.
We extend our sincere condolences to Tina and the Pollard family. How appropriate that a celebration of life for Dick included ice cream! My memories of Dick go back to my days of working at Gemco in San Leandro and him calling on the store as a Bristol-Meyers rep in the early 70’s. He was an integral part of a Bay Area salesmen’s group that met for breakfast at the Holiday Inn in Emeryville for over 30 years years. During his many years with Dreyers Grand Ice Cream, he was responsible for ice cream donations to Relay for Life of Brentwood. Dick and Tina’s Discovery Bay parties were historic. We missed having them near us since their move to the East. We appreciate all the good times we spent with Dick & Tina and plan to get together with local friends of the Pollards for ice cream to celebrate his life.
Tina,
I do not have your number or address please call or send info.
Love
