Dear Nancy: The notice of Dick's death brought back memories of happy evenings when we enjoyed conversations at Fortnightly Club meetings. We always tried to be there when Dick spoke and usually found you in the audience when Bill performed. I send my sincere condolences to you and your family.

On behalf of my mother, Yvonne Morrissette and myself, we wish to extend our deepest sympathy. Our thoughts and prayer are with you.

Our heartfelt sympathy to all of you with Dick's death. He was a marvelous accomplished doctor and human . Our community and you have lost a true hero. Our love to all, Bruno and Ruth Tolge

I served for many years with Dick on the Board of Directors of the New York State Division of the American Cancer Society. He had several state-wide leadership positions and, of course, added stature to our work. Intelligent, articulate, personable, and good sense of humor were some of his notable characteristics.

How he had time to drive to Syracuse for those many meetings given his hectic medical schedule was amazing to me. I join with so many others whose lives were

How he had time to drive to Syracuse for those many meetings given his hectic medical schedule was amazing to me. I join with so many others whose lives were touched by him in expressing my condolences to his family. His passing is a loss to us all. But, when I think of him, a smile breaks out.

Dick and Nancy have been good friends of ours for more than 20 years. Joe first met Dick in their work as American Cancer Society volunteers. But our friendship grew beyond our volunteer activities. When Lu & I moved from Syracuse to East Greenbush in 2008, Dick & Nancy arranged a dinner party at their home with other friends to welcome us to the Albany area and to help us to meet new friends. They hosted the dinner party on

Dick and Nancy have been good friends of ours for more than 20 years. Joe first met Dick in their work as American Cancer Society volunteers. But our friendship grew beyond our volunteer activities. When Lu & I moved from Syracuse to East Greenbush in 2008, Dick & Nancy arranged a dinner party at their home with other friends to welcome us to the Albany area and to help us to meet new friends. They hosted the dinner party on their own; offered cocktails and prepared a wonderful dinner all on their own. And they were both well into their 80s. We are happy that we were able to reciprocate and host them at our home 18 months ago. We have shred some very good times together and Dick was extremely well respected by his professional and medical peers at both the New York State and National levels. I can honestly say that I am a better person for having known Dick Lange. He will be missed.
May the Lord watch over Dick and bestow all His Blessings on this wonderful person we all call "friend."

Dick was a friend to me since early childhood when he and my Aunt Mary first met pioneering the remote coast of Little Compton RI. I was a young kid who loved to fish but didn't really know much about fishing. Dick was the real thing and he was more than willing to share his knowledge. I would get up early in the morning, near dawn, and go down to Butts rock to try my luck. Most of the time

Dick was a friend to me since early childhood when he and my Aunt Mary first met pioneering the remote coast of Little Compton RI. I was a young kid who loved to fish but didn't really know much about fishing. Dick was the real thing and he was more than willing to share his knowledge. I would get up early in the morning, near dawn, and go down to Butts rock to try my luck. Most of the time Dick was already there fishing. He would insist on sharing 'the spot' and show me areas most likely to give up fish. Only with very close friends is information like that shared among fishermen and even then not so generously. Dick was a very good friend, a mentor to me and a gentlemen to the end and I will miss him dearly.
Nancy, Hank, Katie, and Amy, my sincere condolences go out to you and your families.

YOu have woven your way through our lives for so long, in so many ways, that there is a big hole. We love you. Happy and Jim

I shall always remember Dr. Lange for his kindness, his love of music, fishing, travel and the finer things in life. He lived his life the way he sang: with great gusto.
He was a good man and I will miss him.

Richard Lange has been my "uncle" for all of my 59 years. He became friends with my parents in 1952 - the year I was born- and has been there for almost every significant event in my life and the lives of my family members ever since. He was a man who embraced life with great gusto and was passionate about his many interests. His enthusiasm for even the simple things in life was infectious. He always took an interest

Richard Lange has been my "uncle" for all of my 59 years. He became friends with my parents in 1952 - the year I was born- and has been there for almost every significant event in my life and the lives of my family members ever since. He was a man who embraced life with great gusto and was passionate about his many interests. His enthusiasm for even the simple things in life was infectious. He always took an interest in the lives of those near and dear to him, myself included. He loved his children and grandchildren and spoke of them with great affection anytime he had an audience who would listen. He was more family than friend and it has been my privilege to call him "Uncle Dick". I will miss him always. Jonie

To our family he was always "UNCLE DICK" and was our doctor until he retired.We went many places with Nanc and Dick on travels to and fro but the enjoyment was their freindship. We will miss him very very much. Evelyn abd Jim.
