Dick was a longtime customer of ours at the former Franks’s Barber Shop in Niskayuna. My mom wanted me to send condolences on behalf of our family. Dick was such a wonderful man and my mom and dad would look forward to him coming in for a haircut so they could share stories and of course some much needed laughs. Thank you Dick for all the great memories. You will long be missed and never forgotten.

Dick Huether was great admired by everyone at The College of Saint Rose, especially so by the hundreds of student government leaders he mentored in his capacity as chair of the board’s Student Affairs Committee. Just as he did for students at his beloved alma mater, the University of Notre Dame, Dick strongly believed that promising students could be taught to become paragons of selfless and inspiring leaders in the college community primed to later become outstanding leaders in their professions and living communities.
On a personal level, Dick touched my life in so many positive ways. He counseled me in the art of fund raising, strategic planning and motivational techniques to enlist the support of all critical components of the college community including the board, the faculty, the administration, the alumni and most significantly the students.
For everyone richly blessed to have known Dick and allowed his goodness and love to enter and warm our hearts and souls, may we never lose sight of the undeniable fact that Dick Heather leaves our world and enters heaven having touched our lives with his passion, compassion and wisdom.

Dick Huether, a gentleman who lived with enthusiasm for life but especially for those with whom he was engaged.
My experience with Dick was as a fellow trustee for several years on The College of Saint Rose. Board of Trustees. As a former marketing executive he carried his personal enthusiasm to the mentoring of college students as they prepared for future careers, particularly those in the business world. Dick was constant in sharing his student involvement with the Board for awareness of program strength and for future planning.
May he rest in peace following his life of joy, dedication and service.

My deepest condolences to the family of Richard Huether on the loss of such a wonderful, caring man. I knew Dick through The College of Saint Rose. As the Vice President for Student Affairs, I worked directly with him when he chaired the Student Life Committee of the Board of Trustees. He was always interested in the life of the students, seeking to present to the other Board members the positive impact students were having on life at the College. Dick was concerned about their welfare, their studies, and their futures. His approach in working with students was to be present, offering encouragement and advice on how to advance themselves as leaders within the College, and also as future leaders in their chosen field. He was very collaborative in his work with me, and I am forever grateful for his true partnership in moving forward our work with students.
The College was richly blessed by his presence, his graciousness, and his support. May he be blessed with the loving embrace of the Creator, who gifted us with his presence in the world.
