Condolence: Kind, Smart, Dependable, Caring, Fun, and a good teacher, that is a good man. In addition, a heck of paddle ball player. Thanks for the lessons.

Condolence: Nancy & Family, My deepest sympathy is with your family during this time. I just loved Mr. Raklovits - from memories as a child - beach cook outs, camping trips, watching football games and Thanksgiving celebrations to get togethers as adults! I watched a very special friendship between my parents and the Raklovits', witnessed the value of true and tested friendship preserved through years, through all seasons of life; young & old, happy & sad, sickness and health. Two members of this foursome are now in Heaven; where I am sure the beach is warm and the hot coffee plentiful. Rest in peace! May you all have wonderful memories to help you through the holiday times and the years to come.

Condolence: Jan and Steve: I am so sorry for the loss of your Father and Father-in-Law. This time in our lives is so difficult; losing our parents, family members and friends is life changing. I will be thinking of you and hoping the sweet and loving memories will help get you through the upcoming holidays. Take care....

Condolence: Rocky I will always remember you since the first day you recruited me and Mike Darby. You hold a special place in my heart and memories of my time at WMU football. Rest In Peace my friend

Condolence: For a number of years, I played golf with Dick (Rocky) and several other WMU Health and Physical Education and Recreation faculty (e.g., George Hobbs, Fred Orlofsky, Roger Zabik, Ray Cool, Pat Clysdale). Rocky was such a wonderful man, engaging, positive, inclusive and humorous (and a very good golfer). He brightened the world with his energy and enthusiasm. He will be missed but fondly remembered.
