Richard L. Formanek

Dick was a very special person, loved his ecology class, always remember coach doing 100's of burpees in the wrestling room, also asking the test question of "what color is a brown guinea pig"?, and he claimed 33% of the class missed that question yearly. Great man, sorry for your loss.

Dick was influential in my life in many ways; in biology class in the early '80's he taught me to work hard and that if I did not know the answer to a multiple choice test question always pick "C", in the wrestling room having him sweat with me made him more real, and most importantly helping me select the engineering school I attended (now called Kettering University), which forever changed my life for the better. I never saw him after high school, but thought of him often.

Dear Family, My deepest sympathies on the loss of a very good man. I was privileged to have spent 4 years around Dick as a fellow jock. My sport was running over hurdles but most of us knew and associated with jocks from all sports. I admired Dick's tenacity and abilities. God Bless.

So sorry for your loss. Praying for peace and comfort you you all.

I am so sorry to hear of Dick´s passing! My boys had him in biology and as a coach in the 1980´s and we all liked Dick very much
