Dearest Bernie, just learned this terribly sad news today, August 14. We did not spend a great deal of time together, but the bond and connection I felt to Dick was as if we had been life-long , truly intimate friends. With deep regret and sorrow for your loss. Your friends Jon Ross and Ann Fassler.

My condolences to the family. I was saddened to hear of Dr. Felch's passing. I climbed with "Doc", and his good buddy Frank Minunni, in the Adirondacks for several years. We put up a number of first ascents at several cliffs, including "Medicine Man" which was named for him. He always had a great sense of humor and was full of wisdom. He was a good, kind person who loved his family.

I was a patient of Dr. Felch. He helped me through such difficult times. I am so very grateful for him, that I had the honor to know him and have him help me. Thank you! My thoughts are with you.

My sincere sympathy to the Felch family. I worked with Dr. Felch for many years at St. Catherine's. He helped many of our most needy children, and was a supportive resource for staff. He took his job seriously, but also showed understanding and a great wit. I also remember him rock climbing at the school on his lunch hour one day!
May he rest in peace.
