Condolence From: Cristy Peterson

Condolence: Nancy & Family,
My deepest sympathy is with your family during this time. I just loved Mr. Raklovits - from memories as a child - beach cook outs, camping trips, watching football games and Thanksgiving celebrations to get togethers as adults! I watched a very special friendship between my parents and the Raklovits', witnessed the value of true and tested friendship preserved through years, through all seasons of life; young & old, happy & sad, sickness and health. Two members of this foursome are now in Heaven; where I am sure the beach is warm and the hot coffee plentiful. Rest in peace! May you all have wonderful memories to help you through the holiday times and the years to come.

Condolence From: Wayne Fuqua

Condolence: For a number of years, I played golf with Dick (Rocky) and several other WMU Health and Physical Education and Recreation faculty (e.g., George Hobbs, Fred Orlofsky, Roger Zabik, Ray Cool, Pat Clysdale). Rocky was such a wonderful man, engaging, positive, inclusive and humorous (and a very good golfer). He brightened the world with his energy and enthusiasm. He will be missed but fondly remembered.
