Sorry to hear about Mr. Chelikowsky's illness and passing. Always remember his cheerful smile at Lovely Lane on Sunday mornings while I was growing up. Good family & good people. Kind thoughts & wishes -- to Jeanne, Marie, Laura & John & extended family -- for your continued good health & fond memories together. Take care, from Colorado

The funeral you planned for Cheli was so perfect. It is all about our love for God and family (and RAGBRAI). I felt the love throughout the congregation. I will pray for you and your family as you go through this difficult time.

So sorry to hear of Dick's passing! I worked with Dick many years and remember his pleasant and smiling greeting whenever we crossed paths at Collins. May God Bless You all during this difficult time!

Jeanne, Marie, Laura, John: I am so very sorry for your loss. My greatest memory of Cheli is his ever-present smile, always accompanied by his warm, generous laugh. My parents adored your family, and I have many recollections of all three of you kids coming over for music lessons.
I cannot begin express to you how Dick's passing saddens me. He was a remarkable man and a cherished soul.
Peace be with each of you.

Our prayers go out to you as you continue your life here at Meth Wick.. I will miss him on the trail and seeing him ride his bicycle out down the rode. I was glad to have had the last talk with you two down the black top path not too long ago. Blessings to you and the rest of the family.

My sincere sympathy goes out to Dick’s family. I had the pleasure of working with “Cheli” (as he was known) on a number of projects during our mutual years at Collins. He was not only a fine engineer, but a fine person as well. He treated everyone with respect, and his word was as good as gold. He was highly regarded, and he will be missed.

I am so sorry to hear of Dick's passing. I worked with him for a few years, although I was in Melbourne, Florida and he was in Cedar Rapids. Our mutual boss had departments in both locations.
Dick was always upbeat and was a true pleasure to work with.
Deepest sympathies to the family
