To all the California Graces,

I was very saddened to learn of Dicks passing. He was a man of great faith, emphatically positive, full of wit, widom, and sarcastic humor. Reading his obituary was right on the mark and how I saw him. He sacrificied for his family and was a man of strong faith. When he came east for my moms passing he and I discussed some of his illnesses and I feel so fortunate that he visited. I am ...

Aunt Jane, John, Tim, Mary, Tom and James (and families),

I was sorry to hear about Uncle Dick's passing. We will always remember him with a smile on our faces for he surely made us laugh and see the lighter side of life.

Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

God bless.

Love,
Pat

Aunt Jane and Family,
Dick was so loved by our mom, I remember the days when we would get pictures from space he sent from JPL. Most memorable was my visit with my Bernadette in the early 90s where he shared stories of my mother that had me bursting with pride for Mary Dolores and gave great perspective on our Grace Family. Dick was never short of a great story, that would give you pause to rethink so many things.

He will be missed but no doubt he is at the table with the other...

Richard Michael Grace was so admired and respected by his sister,Mary Doloris Grace Graham,my mom,for his sence of humor and his love of life.She always spoke of him and named her second and third sons after him.He always shared from afar. I recall so many times that we would need to "A"ce the science project at school and after a call or two between mom and Uncle Dick we would receive the current photos of the NASA or JPL projects in space.Our science teachers thought we had connections!!...

The Manhattan College alumni community shares the grief, and is now praying for our fellow alumni and the family at this time. The Alumni Office has been informed. As well as the Jasper Jottings community that I personally can reach. We are all a little poorer now. "No man is an island, entire of itself … any man’s death diminishes me". We are sorry for your loss.
