Dick was the hero that I looked up to at Marshall when I was a young 8th grader and later became a great friend. Will remember him always

As a kid growing up in St. Paul, I looked up to Dick from afar, following his athletic exploits at Marshall and later the U. I have had the good luck to know his brother Bob. Dick, you were a hero though I never knew you.

To Ina and the Blakley family: So sorry about Dick. He was an honorary member of the Gnetz family and had a lot of fun times over the years. He was Ray's good friend and always had a nickname for him "burr head" because Ray always had a flat top. Never will forget that. May his memory be eternal and may all the happy memories help you through this difficult time.

I am very sorry to hear of the death of Richard (Dick) Blakley. Besides being a football hero back in high school, he was a caring gentleman who escorted me to our junior prom! Yet, life must pass on!
To all the family, carry the memories of Richard with you; carry the grief you feel in his loss to the Lord, Who alone can sustain you and comfort you for this time and beyond.
