I remember the days of Dick's ministry here in Sandusky. He did a lot of good and reached out to people in ways that others couldn't. An 'out of the box' thinker, for sure. And I believe many were blessed because of that. I'm grateful for all the good he did.

Earlier today

Father Eckel was well known in the 60' s and 70's. He attended may gatherings of young people during this Era as a priest, friend, adviser and all around person. When he left the parish he was followed by many people of may faiths. He was well liked and sought by many. He was a kind soul. My heart goes out to his family, children and friends. A very understanding man.
