Dr. R always made our dental visits entertaining & fun. He would share his love of golf and fun facts during each visit. He always gave us dental options w/pros & cons making us in charge. In retirement, he continued to serve & bless those less fortunate with his skills, no matter the travel, time and lack of compensation. This happy angel will be missed.

Oh my,.... my heart hurts for the Rychetsky family. I worked as a dental hygienist with your wonderful husband and father his entire time as a dentist in the prison system. All workers and patients alike had great respect for Dr Rychetsky, as a dentist, but also knew where he stood in his faith, loyalty to his family and country. When I think of Dr Rychetsky it makes me smile as he was a man of wisdom and loved to share stories to back up his reasoning. His tips in gardening I cherish and have utilized. Family how he enjoyed cooking for you all on Sunday´s and I am thankful I was invited to his house to sample his chef skills. Lastly, a song that will always remind me of Dr Rychetsky is by Dolly, "I Will Always Love You ". He would crank up the 97.1, "pep" up, and light up smiling as he was thinking of Ms Laura.
Bless you family and allow our Creator to fill your emptiness with His love.

What a pleasure to have worked with Dr Rychetsky in the prison system. Our early morning talks at Ellis alway included sharing his wisdom in many areas, but he loved sharing his faith, his love of his family, especially Ms Laura, of course Bailey, his love of country, gardening and cooking for his family on Sunday´s. I can definitely say Dr Rychetsky was a true gentleman and a fine dentist who made an impact on many people including myself.
My God fill the Rychetsky family´s emptiness and loss with God´s love.

We were deeply saddened to hear that Dickie had passed away. I worked with Dickie at the Methodist Hospital Pharmacy when I was going to pharmacy school in the early 70's. Dickie used to clean my teeth at the dental school across the street from Methodist.
Dickie was a fine Christian gentleman who always had a
big smile on his face. I always considered him to be a good friend. We know that many people will Dickie. May God bless the entire Rychetsky family during your time of loss. We will be praying for the repose of Dickie's soul.

My memories of Dr Dickie R is that he was an amazing man. He employed my sister Tam for many years and became my dentist for those years. Always had a smile and treated my sister and everyone who worked for or with him with the greatest of respect. We need more Dr Dickie R's in the world.

Dr.Rychesky, or as he would tell, "Dickie", was one fine friend and Dentist.
Many laughs are beyond anything I could explain. Dickey never failed to mention his lovely bride Laura, Robin and his son, not to mention his beloved Bailey.
I was taken back a time or two by some of his hilarious stories. I am still finding a chuckle or two.
Dickie, on do your Heavenly work now, you've completed you earthly journey.
Do know you left an impression on my soul.
Your Dental Assistant from TDCJ-ID.
