Richard J. "Dick" Socia

This is Amelia M. Socia and I don´t remember my grandma because I was born just a few months earlier before be past, but I can remember my dad (Matthew R. Socia) showing me a voice message that said that he would have loved to meet me and that if ever I wanted to hear his voice that I could just go on the this message a feel like he is with me. My dad, mom, and brother have told me stories about him and the he was always a joy to have around, so I cherish these things that I have of him...

Dick defined the term Gentleman. I am fortunated to call Dick my friend. You will be soely missed by everyone you came in contact with. I'm still in shockk. Mike Maillette

Knew Dick from Class of '61. Great guy, always smiling and kind to everyone he met. The community has lost a great citizen. Our sympathy to the family.

To all of Dick's family.....Larry and I are so sorry to hear about Dick. Killarney Beach will not be the same but we have great memories of a great neighbor. RIP Dick. Larry and Betty

Dear Matt, Aunt Mariann and the rest of the Socia family. I am very sad to hear of his passing. My heart goes out to you. I know you will miss him greatly. His type of professionalism is not easily found. He is a true icon in the real estate profession nationally even though his career was in Essexville! It was always easy to respect and honor his knowledge and character.

My Deepest Sympathy for your loss. I knew Dick since high school and he will missed this year at the class reunion. He always had a smile on his face and a cigar in his mouth. Bay County lost a great ambassador.

Sara,
We are so sorry to hear about the loss of your father. He had quite a life filled with numerous accomplishments. You have a lot of great stories to tell your children about their papa. We will keep you in our prayers.
Love, Janie and Hector Velasquez
Burton, MI

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.
