Richard (Dick) Lee Colbert
I only knew Dick that last few years as he would stand next to me in our Aquatics class. He told me about his family and life story. Im glad l met him. My condolences he was a kind man.
Dick was such a kind man. I first met his wife, Pat, in the 1990s when we worked together, and later we all attended St. John’s together. Dick and Pat would sometimes come over to visit, and we would sit and chat for a while. I would also stop by their apartment on Stanton from time to time, and it was always nice to catch up with them. Dick always had a warm smile on his face and such a kind, welcoming way about him. They always looked so nice, and I loved hearing their stories about their children and grandchildren. They were truly wonderful people. Dick will be deeply missed.
