Richard Paul Duda

Rich was a wonderful, kind and dear man. I will forever remember his smile, love for others and polka dancing with him. I know he is missed by many.

To all the family, Rich will always be my dear friend and patient. He was always thinking on how he could help someone, and like me, he provided good information on how to live a healthier life. He also heard my fan in the men's room sounding not so smooth, and the next thing you know, he is up in the roof fixing it. Rich is a hard worker while loving life and certainly loving his family. I wished I spent more time with him and cherish the times we had. God has a faithful man in Heaven!

Hi Paul. I want to reach out to you and express my sorrow for your loss. I wish you the best. Your friend Jack

I had the pleasure of taking care of Richard for one of his medical issues. He was delightful, full of knowledge, and I truly enjoyed the time I spent with him. I will miss his smile and positive attitude. Rest in peace Richard...you will be missed by many.

My deepest sympathy goes to the Duda family. Rich was also a huge blessing to dozens of us who shared in a health business because he was a great natural health advocate and took care of his own health. We all loved being around him at meetings, whether local or traveling to other cities, enjoying his fun and outgoing personality. He often spoke of his beloved Dorothy and we knew how wonderful his caring children were. I am especially glad that he taught me to polka and we enjoyed...

I send my deepest sympathy to the Duda family. We were neighbors down the hill on Hillside Road and were blessed by the loving child care of his daughter Carolyn during her high school years. My five children had the best "babysitter" to help me while I worked. I know her goodness came from the role models of her parents. After moving from Independence in 1994 to Philadelphia, I was surprised to see Richard at some polka dances years after my return to Ohio. He was truly a gentleman and a...

Sending love and hugs to all. I only met Richard 2 times but he was a very nice and friendly man. My mother Barbara Duda Lawrence ( his cousin) has many fond memories of Richard going back to when they were children. May your memories give you comfort. Love Suzanne Jackson and family

Dear sweet Richieee, My whole life you were more than my cousin. You were a 2nd father, a big brother and most of all my great friend who was always there for me. I will miss you so much and I will carry you in my heart forever. Ever time we lost someone dear to us, you would always say " We´re just penciled in!" Rest well Richieee! All my Love, Louisieee

Rich was a loving giving special guy. He would ALWAYS go out of his way to help. He had a keen eye to see things many others would walk right past. Great talent to be able to fix anything except a cracked mirror or a broken heart. Rich loved his family, cars, Ford Motor, as well as polka dancing. Glad Rich was a big influence in my life. He will be truly missed. Godspeed Rich!!
