Guest Book

Not sure what to say?

My husband, Dave Maloney, shared the excitement of playing basketball with Dick at Mt. St. Mary's. Dave left for that big court in the sky in 2012, so I'm sure he and Dick are enjoying "shooting hoops" together again. My heartfelt sympathies and prayers go out to all the Talley family.

When I asked for your help, you were there. I couldn't ask for more. Enjoyed our conversations these past months. We'll remember you at our 50th.

Fond memories will not die. Rest in peace.

Prayers to all the family members. Remember Dick from GCHS class of '57 & the class reunions. Dick was a great basketball star at GCHS!

Coach and Mrs James J. Phelan send their deepest sympathies and prayers for Dick. He was Captain of our National Championship Team and he will always be remembered here at Mt. St. Mary's University.
Our prayers also go out to his wonderful children and grand children.
May he rest in peace.

Rosemary, Patrick, Roseann, and John Healey would like to express our deepest sympathy to the family and to assure the family that we will be there to help them in their time of need. Our prayers go out to you and your family at this time.
