Richard W. Lodge

March 3, 2008, I was deeply saddened to hear of Dick's passing.
I don't live in Arizona anymore, but I would always cherish my visits to Tucson. Seeing Dick on these visits was always a wonderful experience.
I especially enjoyed his smile and caring personality. I will miss him very much. God Bless to his family and friends. Yours, Dick Franklin

Dick was a wonderful man who I always respected. I know if Tom and John were still with us they would say he was a true friend. The three of them can now sit together at the Grill Room in Heaven and tell their stories and give each other a hard time. I know they are looking down on us and hoping we could know that they are now at peace. We will all miss him very much.
God Bless,
John Black Jr. and Marilyn Black

We are very saddened to hear of Dick Lodge's death. I went to high school with Judy, and soon Dick and Patty became my second parents. When I married my high school sweetheart,Dick Varela, Dick and patty paid for our wedding night hotel room,took the wedding pictures, and Harry bought our car. Dick was my first son's godfather. We loved Dick and Patty! What wonderful people. Dick and Vicki Varela

Dick was full of family love and he especially loved Patty.

When Dick talked of his family he would most often tear up with pride.

Dick and my father were best friends. Dick and Lee played together as kids and through out there life never stopped playing.

Dad was always happiest when he was with the "Pole Cat" no matter if they were fighting a wind storm on Lake Powell, golfing in member guest always mad they did not win or hunting ducks in a Nebraska snow storm. ...

I will truly miss the best grandfater anyone could have. I can only hope to continue your dedication to life and your family. You made an huge impact on many lives, and are a mentor to me. I love you and miss you Pop!

I will always remember Dick as a very good friend to my father, and family. I guess him and Dad can have a couple more together, now that they're together.

To all who had the pleasure of knowing him, we have definitely lost "one of the great ones". I've had the pleasure of knowing Dick since I was about four years old, I'm now 37. Dick was, honestly, a true inspiration throughout my life and ever since the day we met, he never changed. He was always Dick Lodge. I think that was his true gift. Be who you are, no matter what they think. I will always remember his smile. He was definitely "one of the great ones" and I'm damn glad I got the...

When Dick was your friend-you had a firend. You always knew Dick would bethere for you through good times and bad times.
I will always remember my friend Dick Lodge.

To All Family and Friends of Dick Lodge
We are saddened by his departure but know he is now building the ultimate GO BIG RED ROOM in the sky!
Love you Pop!
