Mr Maslyk was a class act, always had a smile and was genuinely interested in how everybody else was doing...Just a great person and the Good Lord threw away the mold with Dick! He will be sorely missed-The Snyder's

Susan & Family,

Extending my sincere condolences upon learning of the passing of my good friend Dick Maslyk. He was a wonderful man who impacted the lives of many people, especially educators, in his leadership of the credit union. May he rest in peace hitting the golf ball down the fairways in heaven.
