We could hardly grasp the seriousness of Dick’S hospitalization and now his quick death. How very sad we are. Ever since we all met your parents, we loved being with them because they were so friendly and easy to like, May God be with you as you pass your father from your earthly hands into God’s eternal embrace.

Liz. My heart breaks for you and your mom. You had a very special relationship with your dad and I know what a big loss this is. I am so sorry. May you find peace and joy from all the great memories you created. I love you ❤️😘🙏🏻

Liz, Ismael y familia mi más grande cariños para ustedes en este momento de la partida de tú papá Liz. En varios viajes tuve la oportunidad de conocerlos y luego de estar con ellos. Dick muy encantador tengo los mejores de recuerdos de los dos, me imagino la pena que están teniendo en estos momentos pero Dios es grande y los ayudara junto a tu papá a pasar por esto. Mis oraciones estarán para él y ustedes. Un gran abrazo, mucha fuerza y fe.

What a wonderful tribute to your Dad!!!! You Dad was a wonderful person and so talented. Give Connie our regards!!!!! They are wonderful people.
Love, Mary Jo and John Martin

Connie, Liz and family - I know there are no words to make this less painful right now. You all are a wonderful family that spreads love and joy wherever you go. So blessed to have you all in our lives. I agree with the tribute above, Dick was a righteous man who lived his life achieving his fullest potential. He did it in so many ways and touched so many lives. And his family was always right there by his side. My heart aches for you in this difficult time. Sending prayers, strength, hugs and gratitude for all Dick taught me and my family and for all the love you all give. Ann

So sorry to hear this. Our thought are with you at this difficult time.

What a beautiful offering from your son, Liz and Joe. There are really no words to describe this loss, but Andrew beautifully celebrated his life. Love and hugs, thinking of all of you.

That is a beautiful tribute to your father! What a wonderful way to try and make sense of your loss. 💕

My prayers are for you and all of your family.

There are too many things I feel now and unable to put in words.

Words cannot express the impact Mr. Ecton still has on my life.

A great performer and a mentor, Mr. Ecton’s heart stopped beating on this earth, but his immortal spirit and soul continues beating the drums in Heaven and among all of us.

Jeff and I are so sorry to hear of Dick's passing. He was a sweet soul and a talented man. Our condolences to Connie and all of Dick's family.
