Quotes from Richard Stucki remembered...

"Measure twice. Cut once."

Dad was very particular about getting things done well. His life was evidence of that. He often reminded us that taking care to get the job done right meant being careful to make correct decisions, rather than moving recklessly ahead. That way, we spend our time making progress instead of fixing problems that could have been avoided.

Again, this lesson is true in many aspects of life. Making decisions now that we don't regret later affects much of what we do. Having a father instill that lesson in his children has been a great blessing in my life. Faith in Jesus Christ and the power gained through his Atonement provides a way out in situations where we lack foresight. Despite our best intentions, we do not always make choices that result in the desired consequences.

His plan for us addresses those situations, and for me that's real comfort.

"I think about the great sacrifices my parents and fore bearers made for me, and the great example they set of complete faithfulness to the Savior and His teachings in their lives. Now it's my turn. I would surely feel amiss to pass on to my posterity something less.

I will stand as a witness that Christ is divine, has risen from the dead, and out of his love for us has overcome every barrier to our return to Heavenly Father and enjoyment of the unspeakable joys of eternal life.

I know that His teachings are the only way to happiness and peace in this life, for individuals and nations, and to joy in the life to come.

All I do and say is in the hope that I might further His cause and help others come to Him for the right guidance in life, and the strength to do what's right.

I know that through Christ sins can be overcome and forgiven, and lives changed, and hope restored."
