Richard David Kovar

I am sorry to say that I met Dick very late in life. My father, Bob Lea, had told quite a bit about having enjoyed a few visits with Dick and the Kovar-Daley side of our family but work kept me from attending any of these! When we finally came in contact via emails, Dick was very cordial and helpful in helping me fill in many a gap in my knowledge and appreciation of the Kovar connection. He was very encouraging when I put together a synopsis of Jaromir Kovar´s amazing trip to Russia to support the Czech troops who had become trapped in Russia near the end of World War I!
His vivacious and ever-young personality was overflowing in every email he shared with me. I am very grateful for having had that privilege!

Dick Kovar was the relative who helped keep me straight on Kovar and Weaver families - being a "double cousin" to my mother - sharing both sets of grandparents. I remember a trip to Washington DC with my husband and sons where he met us on at one of cafeterias at one of the museums on the National Mall. I´m glad I was able to see him in PA at his brother Chuck´s memorial. I kept saying I needed to get to DC to see him again and regret I didn´t. I am glad we kept in touch via Facebook
