Richard Daniel Hegarty

My sister and I loved Dick so much. Although he was only our child advocate he was a very special person in my life. He was always so funny and I will definelty miss him. I love Carol with all my heart and I know this is hard for her. RIP Dick

Richard was an inspriation to me he kept trying to be a better man every time he could. I will miss having coffee with him and the sound of his voice will be remembered untill I meet him again
My deepest regrets for your loss but know he gave much to others and may that comfort you

Carol and Ellen,

We were stunned to hear the news of Dick's death.My heart has moved from my own grief over Bob's "leaving" to what your family must be feeling. It seems so trite to say that all I have to offer is prayers for you all at this time. Rest assured that they are being sent your way. Take care of that precious little Mary. She was surely the light of Dick's life. Will try and write more later, when we are both ready.
Much love,
Kate

I met Dick for the first time this past year in Omaha. Bridget and Bob always spoke so highly of him. It was an honor to meet someone so loved. He will be very much missed by Bridget and I.

So sorry to hear about Dick. I am one of his first cousins. My father was Michael C. P. Hegarty. Haven't seen Dick since we were pre-teeners. Keep up with the family through Mary Catherine, Danny's wife. You have my prayers and sympathy.

Carol,
Was just on the phone with my Mom, Mary Catherine. She wants you to know she loves you and is thinking of you and your family in this time of grief. All of us here in Omaha are so sorry for your loss.

God bless you,

Jimmy Hegarty

My thought are prayers are with you all. I was very close to Dick and I will miss him tremendously. Dick was the light in my dad's world and now they will live peacefully together in eternity. I thank God for the time I had with him.

Carol and Ellen, I am so sorry about Dick. It has been years but I always remember your Xmas Eves spent at
our house. He can visit my Dad now. My best, Colleen Hegarty Hawley

Dearest Mary, Ellen and Carol,
Our thoughts and Prayers go out to you. We will miss that "Big Bear Dick." We couldn't help but to LOVE this big teddy! We LOVE you Carol.
Love Dave, Dani, Tony, Alicia, and Alexis
