Rick,
I am so sorry to hear about your father. I remembering meeting him and your mom at Saint Anne's.
They were a very nice couple and you could tell they deeply loved one another.
Rest assured your Dad will be lifted up in prayer.
May God bless you and your family in your time of need.
You and your entire family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
God bless you.

I am Linda Mohler McCall, a classmate and friend of Dick Maxey through grade school and high school in Golden, Colorado. I sent an announcement to our class about the 55th year reunion in 2007. Dick responded immediately that he would be coming. Then he learned he had cancer and that radiation treatments would prevent his joining the reunion, and asked if I would send pictures and descriptions of the event.
Thus began a correspondence that blossomed into bonding friendship. My husband Pat (whose email address is [email protected] ---the "maxey" is a phonetic spelling of McC, for McCall) maintained the email connection. I don't email, so wrote letters, and Dick would write long expressive letters in return. We talked on the phone and I met Barbara--the comfortable feeling of connection and friendship was immediate.
As Dick went trough the ups and downs with cancer, he was fervent in his requests for prayer and fervent in his gratitude.
In October 2008 my son Brendan was diagnosed with an aggressive lung cancer and Dick became a comforting and spiritually strengthening support throughout Brendan's illness and death. On the day of Brendan's burial--May 11, 2009--as our family prayed the Rosary in New Jersey, Dick prayed with us in Texas.
I will miss his emails and letters and the sound of his voice-- yet his gentle, gracious, generous spirit; his love of life and family; his acts of prayers for others; and his gratitude for God's blessings will live on.

Rick & Olivia, I was saddened to hear your dear father had passed. My thoughts & prayers are with you and your family. In the near future, I pray you feel joy in your heart knowing that your cherished Dad is with Our Heavenly Father where there is no more pain, no suffering, no tears, just peaceful joy were you will meet him again one day. I never met your dad, but through stories from Olivia - he sounded like a caring, loving, giving man. What a good & Godly servant he must have been. Take care, In His Name, Cynthia
