Dear Marie,
I just now learned of Dick’s passing and I am heartbroken that I was not at his services to express the love and respect that he truly deserved from me. I saw Dick’s Cadillac at Procaccini’s on Thursday, April 21st but when I went back to see him he had already left. I was very lucky to share the same work space with Dick and we became very close friends. He was simply amazing. He had the longest, biggest memory! As a P&W employee he was valued and respected as the one...

To the family of Dick Wrzos- I am very sorry for your loss. I worked briefly with Dick at Pratt and Whitney in Maintenance Engineering and feel extremely fortunate to have known Dick. I found that he was a truly kind, funny, genuine person - who enjoyed sharing his great knowledge of pratt engines with others.

I worked with Dick over the years and always found him to be extremely knowledgeable in Configuration Management an excellent employee in general. He'll certainly be missed!

If ever there was someone who epitomized the image of a large, gentle teddy bear, it was Dick. I worked with Dick at P&W for many years and was fortunate to be one of his supervisors. He always was willing to assist someone who did not quite understand our work, and he never had an unkind word about anyone. At the time of his retirement, Dick was missed from the Configuration Management group and was missed especially for his unbelievable depth of knowledge on P&W's JT8D engine.

To the Wrzos Family, I worked with Dick for many years at Pratt & Whitney. He was the change writer for the engine program I worked on, so we had a great deal of contact. He was always so helpful and I don't ever remember him losing his patience with me, the new kid on the block.
May you find comfort in knowing how many lives he touched. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Sincerely,
Kathy (Bator) Sumislaski
