Richard K. Brackin

I've known Dick since he became my undergraduate advisor in 1971 but within a short time he had also become my friend. I remember lots of gourmet meals with him and his friends, going to the symphony in Columbus many times, going to parties with him...but he truly saved my life at a time when I needed a friend and mentor. I have sent him Mother's Day cards over the years as that is the role he played in my life. I last had contact with him in July via email planning to see him when I next...

So sorry to read this. Dick will be sadly missed. We travelled together to a Tea Leaf auction in Iowa many years along. Had a great time.

"Uncle Dickie" was a blessing to this world. A kind soul with a warm laugh. He is missed!

Dick was so important to me personally and in our work together. We shared many memorable times-Precollege and other University College endeavors. He taught me to hug often and generously. Our gourmet group meals remain legendary. Thank you, Dickie!

Dick was a fellow resident at Kensington Place for six years. He was my best friend and was an inspiration to me. He was a real presence to all of the residents and staff, and was truly a servant of God and of others. Rev. Donald Luck and I are planning a remembrance service here at Kensington to celebrate his life.
