    I am so sorry to learn of Dickchecks passing. Sending big hugs to his beautiful family. He was one of the best… I’m comforted to know that he is up there with all of his treasured friends (including my dad!) They will take great care of each other and have everything ready for us when we get there. Love you,

    Tracie, I hope you are doing okay. Your dad loved you like no other. He was always in a good mood and had a happy tale to tell. He seemed larger than life back in high school and college. May all your good memories of having such an amazing dad carry you through any difficult times. I’m truly sorry I won’t be able to attend his funeral. My thoughts are with you girl. xoxo’s. Jane

    Tracie: Sorry to hear about Dick. We always said he had nine lives. So many good memories we had through the years. Can!t beleave how fast those guys all checked out together. First Pat,Vic. John Mchugh Bing, and now Dick. What a crew. My thoughts and prayers are with you and family, Sharon and Judy. Great obituary that he wrote.

    Dearest Dick. Judy & I came to see you on Sunday Aug. 14th and was told U had left the building. We were very sad not to hold your hand & whisper farewell. In her heart, Judy hopes that U felt her presences. Your daily & nightly phone conversations through the years attests to the great fondness U both had for each other. You certainly could write a best selling book on all your adventures. Memories cannot be erased & we wish peace be with you & your loved ones. With Love & Respect, Judy Smith & Evy.
