It is with heavy hearts that we say goodbye to our adored husband, devoted dad and Opa after struggling for years with Alzheimer's.
Our family would like to thank the caregivers at Brookdale Briargate for caring for Dick the last few months. You are all angels and what you do is so vital. Also the nurses at Pikes Peak Hospice at Penrose, made the last times for Dick and us so peaceful. Thank you all from our hearts.
At his request there will not be a funeral, but instead, a Celebration of his Life on December 11, 2022 from 1-5 pm at the Marriott Tech Center.

He was my big brother. He was always there for all of "his gals". Especially for our mother, Dorothy Laurent. And the best big brother ever!

Dick was the best big brother. Our father didn't want us to shave our legs as teenagers. Dick noticed this so, for Christmas he got us all electric razors!!! He also made sure we were safe getting to scholl during the riots of 68. He was the best big brother ever!

My favorite memory of Dick was he ran the deep fryer at the fish fry as the coaches of the summer hockey AFA camp would meet at Chuck's house to relax mid-week. Great stories, lots of laughs and get there early as the walleye went fast!! God bless to the Enga family, great memories from a great man!

Dick and I were roommates at an AF training program many years ago and I clearly remember his engaging spirit, his abundance of music and clothes, and more than our share of fun times. There are fond memories of THE MAN that will continue to exist. Rock on Dick!

We fondly remember Dick as a faithful hockey dad. He would be cheering for RJ. He was so proud of his son . With sympathy. Tom and Linda Olden.
