Dick Schafrath

I wrote something, not sure where it went, so I add Dick was an integral member of my favorite team. It culminated in glory for 9 year old me, watching the '64 Title Game, sitting on an upholstered chair, with my parents (Dad was a New York Giants fan, but surely rooting for me that day) and grandmother. Twice I have been in Jim Brown's home and I know how much he admired and liked Dick. I will send the post I am about to write titled "Remembering Dick Schafrath."

To the family, many, many friends, and fans of this great person who played an offensive lineman for the Cleveland Browns to win the NFL Championship in 1964. He had a wonderful career in football. May you find comfort in your wealth of fond memories together with Mr. Dick Schafrath. May the God of comfort bless your grieving hearts with strength, loving kindness and peace as the world copes with the loss of Mr. Schafrath.

I was very sad to learn of the recent passing of Mr. Schafrath.

When I was in 5th grade he came to my South Euclid, Ohio school to give a talk. He spent the better part of the day meeting us kids and sharing what it was like to play for the Cleveland Browns (which I remember well) and maybe some "stay in school" and "follow your dreams" lessons (which I probably forgot by the next day).

What I remember most was how such a giant of a man, bigger than life, a real...

My condolences to his family. I worked security at ODH when he worked there.
He was a very nice person

So sorry to hear about the passing of my cousin Dick Shafrath.

My condolences.

I am so sorry to hear of Dicks passing. Many good memories come to mind from his football days and after. Dick and I were friends for many years. We had many good times together. My sympathy to all Dicks family.

Remembering his great football years and the lasting impression he made speaking at our grade school football banquet stressing many important life lessons as well as the joys of participating that he had such an influence on.
