Dick Dutkiewicz - Online Memorial Website

I was terribly sorry to hear of the loss of your father. I never had the good fortune to meet the man, but thoroughly enjoyed reading all the stories and fond remembrances people had of him. I too grew up working with my father in a grocery store in Martin, and many of your memories sparked my own! It must have been pretty cool. God bless you, and know that you're part of something very special.

Rick & Krys,

We can't think of a better Christmas wish-come-true than to be in heaven, away from all the pain and suffering.  The hardest part is for those your father leaves behind.  Our prayers are with you all.

To all the Dukie's, sorry for your loss. I still remember invading the old store when getting the Tricks band up to speed. Amazing what parents will tolerate for their kids. Peace to all.

I have enjoyed Rick and Steve's band since first hearing them in 2000. Thanks to Dick for instilling a sense of music and art in his children's lives.  I enjoy the friendship with Rick that started in 1999 and thank Dick (although, unfortunately, I never met him) for instilling ethics of hard work and public service/politics in Rick (and I am sure his other children). From what I have read Dick was part of what once made America great, self-ownership, self-reliance (with family help) and public service. I hope in the future my generation (I am 28 now) and the next will step up to the challenge again and re-make America into a great country of doers and not whiners. You will certainly be missed.

To the family of Mr. Dutkiewicz,

 

When I was little and my dad, Ed Pawloski had the shop in Dorr, he would send me to the store to get cookies, Dick would always scare me to death, I would run back to tell my dad and he would laugh and send me back. Reading the memoirs reminds me of my own dad.

Our deepest sympathy to you all.  Much love and prayers,

Keep your memories fresh.

Our Deepest Condolences to Rick, Krystal, and your entire family. You are a wonderful legacy to your Dad.

Grandma, I'm so glad Grandpa got to see Bryce before he passed away. I know that ment a lot to A.J. & Jodi too. I wish I could be there with you guys during all of this. I love you and miss you all. Rick you did a great job with this memorial, Grandpa would be proud.

Uncle Dick you will be missed. I will always rember the fun times that keep us all smiling.  Rick the memorial site is really nice. Thanks.

Uncle Dick lived longer than we all expected I think. God gave him extra time to continue to share his wisdom with friends and family. He had a plan. But that plan had an end, as the all do. An exit strategy. And Uncle Dick's exit was peaceful, as was he. Our thoughts and prayers are with Aunt Rusty and all our cousins, their spouses, and children, friends and family around the country (and world). Uncle Dick was a special man, always seemed happy and was fun to be around. We'll miss him, all of us, for he's left a void that can never be filled. Time will heal, but never completely, and we'll never forget what a wonderful man he was. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Dutkiewicz family. John and Noreen

Aunt Rusty and Family,

Uncle Dick's long battle is over... I'm sure the eagles have come to raise him up on their wings.  We are thinking of you and praying for time to heal your painful loss and for God to welcome Uncle Dick into his kingdom. 

Much love, thoughts, and prayers,

Kadi and Jeff Leiting
