Just seeing Richard Gotchel and his obituary. He was a great guy and him and my Mom Barb Vermeeren we´re cousins.. Many memories with his family and mine. Condolences and Prayers to the family... Janet Vermeeren

I am so thankful our parents were lifelong friends and our strong family friendship over the many years has left us with fond memories and what we have to remember.
Dr. Gotchel was funny, witty, and energetic. Dr. and Mrs. Gotchel were so kind and I always enjoyed our visits in recent years. We will always remember one who brought so much light and love into our lives. My thoughts and prayers are with the Gotchel family.

To Family: May the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts by means of Christ Jesus this day and forever. Phil4:7

Dr. Gotchel was a gift to us all. He made his rounds after my now 41 year old son was born in his infamous sneakers. He gave advice with a wonderful sense of humor. I respected him as a physician and a great man. My condolences to the entire Gotchel family.

Prayers for the Gotchel Family. Always admired and enjoyed knowing each of you. Dr. Gotchel delivered my granddaughter, but also was my GYN Dr. Celebrating his life and the privilege of knowing him.

As a young pastor it was a bit intimidating to have a "doctor" as a church member. But Dick was not just a very good doctor but a very humble man with great parental roots. He, Betty and family were a key part of our congregation and so supportive of my ministry as well as my predecessors. He will be missed and remembered very fondly!

I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Gotchel just prior to his retirement. In addition to his medical skills, he had people skills that were endless. His care for patients, their families and his staff were admirable. Am so lucky that our paths have crossed in this lifetime. God bless the family of this wonderful man.

Our family grieves with your family. What a tremendous loss to us all. So many fond memories. Our faith is our saving grace. The Gotchel family is in our prayers.

Dr. Gotchel's skills and kindness were a blessing to all of us who needed THE BEST doctor in a time of need. I will always remember him. My sincere sympathy in the loss of this fine man.
