Richard C. Case

Darlene, Ken sent me a notice that Dick had passed away. I wanted you to know how much the both of you meant to me as a Pastor and wife. Your support and care were so appreciated. Praying for you and the family at this time. May God's comfort and peace be evident.

So sorry to hear Rev. Case passed away. I saw him over at Heritage at Warren when my mom was there and he would come to see her. He married Steve and I in 1972. Have my deepest sympathy

Very sorry to hear this. Our condolences and prayers for healing, to the family

I am truly sorry to hear about Pastor Case passing. Holly and I will miss him greatly. Pastor Case was a very loving, compassionate man who had touched many lives. Your family will be in our prayers. Take care.

Darlene, I enjoyed getting to know Dick as a warm and welcoming colleague in ministry. I smilled at seeing you two sitting close together at Westminstry vespers. May God be very close to you as you grieve the earthly absence of "your other half." Blessings, ANella

I met the Cases at Union Church (Huntington, IN). ( -his pastorate when Tania was born). He gave us a class before we were to be baptized after camp. I bet there were more than 12 of us saved, in the class, and baptized! I ran into them again when he was at the Heritage - what important work with those at the end of their lives. He touched many lives. I am thankful he touched mine.

enjoyed Dicks leadership at Crestview sorry to hear of his passing he was a good friend of our pastor from my home church Mark Morrison Nancy and i will be praying for all of you again sorry for your loss

Darlene, Tonia, and Amber, this is from a book I wrote: In 1980, my second year as a counselor at Hutchinson Community College, I moved into an office in the Student Services Center, next door to the campus minister. Back in those days, college campuses had campus ministers. Our campus minister was named Dick Case. I was twenty-nine years old; Dick was around thirty-five. Over the next couple of years, Dick and I developed a close personal friendship. I learned to admire and respect Dick greatly for his approach to campus ministry. He was not driven by climbing ministerial ranks or an elevated position. His life was focused around service to people. He had a steady stream of kids coming to his office, and no matter how troubled a kid was he found goodness in them. He was never holier than thou, or judgmental. To me, he represented what a Christian should be. Dick worked with murderers from the local prison, and young kids who had lost their way. He treated everyone with respect, kindness and consideration. Our co-workers loved him. His nickname, given in love, was Reverend Rowdy. Sometime or another, when Dick and I were having a lunchtime conversation, we turned to favorite books. Dick mentioned that a book that had been impactful for him was the Velveteen Rabbit, by Margery Williams. He told me that it was a children’s book but had very deep meaning. A few days later, I found a copy of the Velveteen Rabbit on the seat of my office chair signed, “From Reverend Rowdy.” Later that year, I heard Dick deliver a sermon using that book as a theme. His message about love, patience, and what really matters resonated with me then, and still does, forty plus years later. It was an honor to know and work with Rev. Just a downright great guy, who I deeply respected and loved. My deepest condolences.

Dick will forever hold a special spot in our hearts! He was a wonderful, caring man of God and will be very missed!

I am so sorry to hear of Pastor Case passing away. He was a wonderful man and will be missed. Pastor Case will always have a special place in my heart for he was the one who married my Husband and I back in 2001.

Consolations to the family! Joe Minnich

Enjoyed Dick when he was a pastor at heritage pointe in Warren. Fun personality. Sorry to hear about his passing.

To the Case family, We were sad to hear the loss of your husband, father and grandfather. We have so many good memories with him and your family at Dillman. He didn't have a mean bone in his body. He always took time to talk at Heritage Point and update us on the family. Bless be the ties that bind our hearts in Christian love. Our prayers will continue for your family. Barry and Cherry Story
