I was so sorry to hear of Dick's passing while I was on vacation. I feel so bad that I missed his funeral and the opportunity to say good by along with the many other friends and family who loved him! Dick was such a blessing to me and so many others. While I technically had many jobs and bosses during my many working years, I always referred to him as "my only real boss" because he taught me so much. What a great man! Rest in peace, dear friend and boss. And may you find much joy with...

Mr. Flesher coached countless kids in our community how to play the game. Whether it be Hockey, Football or Baseball, he was always there for the children. It didn't come down to skill, it was the about the rules and the fun. The world lost a really good man.

Uncle Dick - I was lucky enough to have you and Loretta as my godparents. You were always great role models and welcoming to everyone. We love you and will always cherish the special memories we have had together.

Dear Family,
Dick is a wonderful example of a life well lived and loved. He was a kind, loving man and took interest in those around him. He had a knack for remembering something personal going on in peoples lives. One thing was certain, the love he had for his family and friends. As Dick reunites with the love of his life(Loretta), may you all feel the love of the Lord as well as the love of those around you. May God grant you peace as you mourn the loss of Dick and celebrate his life...

It was with a heavy heart that I heard the sad news of the wonderful Dick Flesher going to see his beloved, always laughing Loretta. Dick and I had many good laughs as we both started out in Social Work at "The Christ Child." I fondly remember an exemplay Catholic man, who contributed much to the welfare of many in St. Paul, not as blessed as he was. May his soul rest in peace, and Eternal Light shine upon him.
