Dr. Richard Hale "Dick" Prosl

I dated one of his daughters. He was a wonderful man who taught me about beaugolais neauveau and let me cut the Thanksgiving turkey. I talked him into getting a pickup truck and he told me it made him feel “cool” on weekend runs to the dump. He had lunch at Paul’s frequently and would pick up the tab. That whole family was, and remains, an awesome part of my life. Thank you, Dr. Prosl, for “coming alongside”. I’d happily rake leaves for you for free.

I was a student at Bethel High School in 1976 and Dr. Prosl taught us calculus via video tape. State of the art technology back in the day! We had absolutely no interaction with Dr. Prosl other than occasionally hitting rewind to go back over a particularly complicated lesson. However I wanted his family and friends to know that we learned from him. To some degree, we thought of him as our teacher. He actually made some of the lessons funny and interesting. I recall one where he was...

Our prayers are with you..He was a gentle and kind man..It was pleasure to know him and his family..love ya much, Stephen and Jeri Sharrett

Dr Prosl was my freshman advisor in 1971. I took his calculus classes and linear algebra. He was an excellent professor and took an interest in me as a student and as a person. I always appreciated that.
May God comfort all who loved him.
