Some of it's magic

Some of it's tragic

but he had a good life all the way.....

 

Great obit detailing his accomplishments (of which there appear to have been many).

RIP Mr. Leach.

My prayers are for the entire Leach family. Without being disrespectful during a time of loss ... Did Mr. Leach wear #7 too? I think Ricky did in his baseball days, right?

When I was maybe 9 or 10. Apparently, in those days fan mail was forwarded to a player's home. In reply I received a very nice hand written note from Dick as well as an autographed photo of Rick. Another of a thousand great memories of M football. RIP Dick. And Go Blue.

I grew up with my dad reciting that as one of his favorite Ufer quote:
 

"And here he is folks, the guts and glue of the Maize and Blue, our own Riiiiicky LEACH!!"

 

Godspeed.
