Having moved away from the area upon graduation from NU in 1973, I was always in awe when I would be asked where I hailed from.. Upon saying Richwood, OHIO, I then would be asked if I knew the Reese family.. the Reese's from Richwood, yes...several brothers, a large family. I'm expressing condolences for the loss of "Dick" Reese and to a family whose name stretches far and wide. A name my parents spoke very highly of as I was growing up near Richwood, OHIO!

I only had the honor and priveledge to know Dick for just a little over a year but what an impact he made on my life. I will never forget how he cheated at Uno and the look on his face when he was going to bomb you with a draw 4, the great cups of coffee he made, and how he gave us the quickest tour in history of the church our first time here. Dick was more than a friend he was family and he will truly be missed.

I worked with Dick for 21 years at Denison and found him to be a great co-worker. He was always so neat in his appearance. Very dependable and just an all around great fellow to be around. He'll be missed alot. My family and myself wish to convey our deepest sympathy to all of Dick's family.
