RICHARD COWEN "DICK" HAWK

Dick was one of the kindest and most welcoming human beings I have ever met. Everyone who dined at the Gaslight Grill was his friend, whether they just met him or had known him for years. My heart broke when I heard of his passing. He was an irreplaceable fixture of the Leawood community, and he leaves an emptiness in the world of Jazz that cannot be filled. I pray for peace and comfort for his family.

We will miss you sir. Thanks for the music.

what an angle! always so sweet and fun to be around. Will miss seeing you at the Gaslight!!
God bless your family and rest in peace.

Chad, I am so sorry to hear about your father. He was a WONDER man who was loved and will be missed. You and your family will be in my prayers.

Such a nice and talented person!! Always loved to visit with him when I went to the restaurant!! He will be truly missed in the community and at the restaurant!! My sincere sympathy to his family and associates.

We love going to the Gas Light grill and seeing Mr. Hawk. We will miss this dear gentleman and the interest he always showed in the customers.

We went to the Gaslight Grill for many anniversaries and he would always greet us like a long lost relative. He knew who we were and would be as friendly as could be. He was quite a gentleman. What a loss to the city and to the restaurant world. He was so friendly and so kind. I loved listening to his voice on the radio and he was always reminding us to go visit the restaurant. Besides our anniversary, we often went there for family birthdays and other great special occasions. Pass...

Mr Hawk was a friend and mentor to my wife Britt and I. He was a talented entrepreneur who taught us quite a bit. We will dearly miss his warm and pleasant demeanor and his business acumen. Our prayers and thoughts are with all the family and friends.
