We are so sorry for your loss, Marge, along with Jeff, MaryAnn and Georgieann. Dick was always so enjoyable to be around. He helped us out one spring break with our daughter Lauren, who he and Shirley picked up from the airport during spring break, then lent her their car for the week. So very kind and thoughtful. We know he will be missed by many. - Our love to all of you - Tam & Rich Freeland

I will miss my brother. It has been a few years since we saw each other and I am so sorry for that. I do wish I was able to be there. He and Steve never missed an opportunity to tease me, so many memories.

It was with great sadness that I read today of the passing of my old friend and one time mentor Dick Grauel ! I first met Dick in 1971 at General Foods Corporation in Lafayette Indiana! I became assistant project manager to Dick in 1975 ! One day ,after 5 years of learning the craft from Dick ,he told me he was leaving to pursue his dream by opening the Mr Steve’s franchise! This opened his job , my dream job ,for me ! The rest is history and a huge part of his legacy! He was a good man and a great mentor and great friend! I saw him about 5 years ago and it was as if we had been in touch all those years! I’ve missed my old friend for many years and I miss him today! Rest In Peace my friend, you did well!

Marjorie, Punk and I are so sorry for your loss. We know you will miss him greatly. So many memories flood back of all the good times we had with this self made, always positive, entrepreneurial man. Richard was always so supportive of me while I was building my career. I remember visiting with Richard many years ago in his big building in Saw Mill Run, I would never have believed that 30 years later, with his help, I would own his building! Sadly, we are in Florida and will not be able to attend his services, but please know that you are both in our hearts and prayers. Jim and Madonna Compton
