Dear Lauren and family, I was deeply saddened, having recently learned of your father's passing. Living in South Carolina these past 15 years, we seldom are aware of the news from up North.

Sarah and Family, I met Coach the first year I started playing soccer and I absolutely adored him! He was a mentor and advocate and I feel blessed to have had him in my corner. A true champion of women´s soccer - his love for the "beautiful game" was infectious! He was a great guy and had such a positive impact on so many young athletes. My sincere condolences.

We all remember Rich and his coaching prowess in Ellington...but a nice man who loved his family is where he shined. I first encountered the Dyjaks when Ann was a student in my math class. We last saw him at Bob Tedford´s funeral....still positive and updating us on his family! You have our sincere condolences... take care
