I have known Dick for many years and led the effort to get him elected into the NEIBA Hall of Fame in 2008. He also served as a member of the NEIBA Board of Directors for the last several years. His love and support of the great game of baseball was second to none. He will be sorely missed.

Russ and family you have our deepest sympathy.
We bought our first new Chevy from Richard in 1977. It was a black K-5 Blazer. Over the years each time we took delivery of our new Chevy he always personally thanked us for our business before we walked out the front door to see it. That meant a lot to us. He was a very humble man with a wonderful personality. Loved to hear his stories about the deer up in Michigan. He will be missed.

I was fortunate to spend time as a teenager and young man with Richard at Wood Tic hunt camp starting in 1964. He was a great guy and a leader among men. His charactor and integrity are something for all to recognize and emulate. We will all miss you Rich.
Coach was an inspiration to all the players he ever coached. He will be missed! Condolences to the Crumback family..

Tom and I would like to send our Sympathy and Prayers to the Crumback family on their loss. Tom purchased his first Chev. Pick Up from him in 1972 shortly after he opened the Dealership. And many more after that. After that Tom considered him a good friend for life. Tom had so much respect for Mr. Crumback and would enjoy stopping by the dealership and sitting and talking with him enjoying his many stories. We all will miss him.
