Dear Faye and family
I'm not sure that you would remember me. I lived with dismas in Milwaukee and was with him in D.C. when you two met.First of all let me begin with a note of sadness and also of overwhelming love at the passing of Dismas to another world and peaceful place to rest and receive his reward for all of his life. I felt and still feel the privilege that was mine to live with Dis, and to work, play, laugh and enjoy the fullness of life with him, for a time. From the...

Dismas will always be remembered as a good friend and a very good best man.

i know yall will miss him alot. if he was like peter then the world lost another person who made the world a better place for all.my thoughts and prayers are with all

Dismas' passing is sobering and solemn.

The value of Dismas to the State Engineering Association, SEA, over the years has multiplied. His stature on the Hill iss undeniable and SEA's presence on the Hill followed on his coattails even though he was not a lobbyist for us.

My sympathy to the Becker Family upon your loss, which is a loss for all of us in Milwaukee and the Church. -cvrf

I knew Dismas only slightly, for the most part as a professional and a little bit as a member of the community, but he always recognized me whenever we crossed paths. He was never too busy to be gracious and pleasant. Dis was an inspiration dating back to my days at UW-Madison, where he helped lead civil rights marches.

"Righteous" is an overused word that in our cynical era is turning into a pejorative, but I think its highest and most spiritual meaning applies to Dismas. Oh, he...

I was in Milwaukee in the early ‘70s, working for the Council on Urban Life, living in St. Michael’s parish, and happy for the opportunity to know and work with Dismas Becker. He was fun, supportive, inspiring, at times confounding, always a respectful friend. Re-connecting in recent years was easy and seamless, testimony to the genuineness of our earlier times together. I support you with good intentions, Fay; I know you will be missing Dismas, as will all of us blessed to have known him.

Dear Fay and Family,

I am very sorry for you loss.
