I played football at Sullivan High school in 1961 and 1962 while Dick was the football coach, He was truly a wonderful person. Some time later I became his tax accountant and prepared his income tax returns for a number of year. I would like the family to know that he was liked and respected by so many of his students. May the knowledge of what a wonderful person "coach" was comfort you in this difficult time.

We remember Coach Ovington as the beloved football coach of our high school and also his work in our Driver's Ed program. He certainly was an instrumental figure in our formative years and will be remembered for his kindness as well as his influential presence. I recall him asking me about my middle name when filling our paperwork for a driver's permit. We enjoyed our interactions with him and wish his family our sincerest condolences.

Richard Ovington was my High School division(homeroom) teacher-Division 702,class of 1977.He was scrupulously fair and impartial to every student he coached or taught. When it seemed that I would go astray,he showed genuine concern.There were other teachers who seemed to clearly gravitate toward the athletes,the "joiners," or the scholastically brilliant.If you were none of those,you were made to feel invisible.While I have many sour memories of that time in my life,Coach Ovington wasn't one of those memories.Thank you Coach and rest in peace.
