Richard A. York

Dick's kindness and friendship to me will always be treasured.

Dear Laurie, Our deepest sympathy to you and your family. We were very saddened to hear of Dicks passing. He was my Dads most trusted and loyal friend. Dick and you were very good to our family over the years. God Bless You, Love Cindy and Ted Brady

Richard was my rock, my lover and my best friend for over 50 years. The last 2 years, when his illness took over, our relationship turned around so that he had to depend upon me. The only reason that I could take care of him then was because he had taught me so well. Richard loved all kinds of music. In our youth we listened to Bobby Vinton's "I'll Love you forever" and in later years it was Josh Groban's "You're Still You". I will love you forever, honey. And you will always still be you...

Dick (aka Richard's) death is truly sad. We were in school together from first grade through high school. Like his parents and brothers and sister, he was the absolutely nicest person. He is a loss to the world, Linda Zimmerman Holland

Dear Laurie, Bob, Cathy and Cheryl;
We extend to you our deepest sympathies for your loss. We shared many fun family times at North River Lake. Will always remember the night when I drove all the kids to Weirs beach and back to the lake in Dick's brand new dealership vehicle. Returning back through Northwood, I hit a skunk and boy did the vehicle stink. Poor Dick had to deal with it. Dick always had a powerful boat for water skiing pulling all the kids. From sharing church services...

Dear Laurie, Bob, Cathy and Cheryl, what a family! As the children's band director, I got to know how great, supportive, and sharing of love, this family was/is. Dick will be missed by so many who shared his time on this earth.

Dear Laurie and Family,
Nancy and I are so sad to learn of Dick's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Dick had a huge personality that will be greatly missed.

We went to school with Richard, moved away for many years, tracked him down 10 years ago and fell in love with him and Laurie all over again. He enriched our lives, was a wonderful friend and we will miss him forever.
