Frostie, Duane, et al, I was deeply saddened when I learned of Coach Dichiara's passing. He was an inspiring mentor, teacher, and leader. He left a lasting impression on me. I was truly fortunate to have been one of his students. May he rest in peace and may you be comforted during this difficult time.

Frostie--You may remember, we worked together at CDC in the 60's. I worked for Pat Casey. When I saw the obituary, I wondered if this was your husband. Now I know and I am so sorry for such a devastating and tragic closure to his life. I know you will have many fond memories to help you through this sad time in your life. Will keep in you in my thoughts and prayers. My deepest sympathy to your and your family.

I want to express my sincere condolences to the Dichiara family. Coach was a strong influence in my life from '70 to '74. Again, my thoughts and prayers are with the family. The world lost, but God gained, a great man.

I would like to extend my deepest condolences to Dick's family for their loss. Dick was one of my baseball and football coaches at Delta High school and he was a wonderful man. I still have very fond memories of him as he was a great guy and also a very supportive coach. I always admired and respected him. So very sorry for your loss.

While Dick was not a close friend, he is one I fondly remember out of 800 or so graduating seniors in the class of 1960. I am sure many of his Sac High class mates feel the same way and we will all miss him dearly. I am so sorry for your family's loss of this great man.

Dear Frosty and Family, I am so saddened to read of the loss of Dick. My heart hurts just thinking of what you are going through. I worked with him at P.H.S and E.D.H.S. Please note that I wrote worked WITH him not worked FOR him. He always made me feel that I was a valued co-worker. I still miss seeing his smile and hearing his laugh. He brought joy wherever he was. I did so enjoy listening to his plans for travel. He did truly care about the students. May the Lord be with you all.
Most Sincerely,
Robin Cacioppo, School Health Technician, E.D.H.S.

It was a pleasure working with Dick at Ponderosa HS, He was always positive and helpful to all students whether they were special needs or super stars. His focus was where it should have been, with kids. Rest in peace.

My heart breaks every time I think about Coach leaving us. Mrs. Dichiara (Frostie), may the blessing of The Lord be with you and entire family during this very hurtful period. Dick was a doggone good man. We respected all our coaches during our football Golden Age---but looking back at this time, we Loved Coach Dichiara. God Bless you and family.
