The obituary is just beautiful and perfect.

Our hearts and prayers for you and your family. Dick was special to all who knew him. He always made everyone feel confortable. My memories of Dick have a very special place in my heart. Sitting around the O'Malley's dairy dinner table are fond memories of a wonderful family. You, Dick, Mary Ann, Allen, Dan, JoAnn, Aunt Aggie, and Uncle Arthur were always such fun to be around. The love and warmth from that table has grown and expanded to many families. The O'Malley's always had the time, love, consideration for their family as well as a love for others. The warmth displayed will be realized for many generations! May God Bless and Reward Dick, he has completed his mission.

I will always remember the smile and the love of life that Dick embraced. I told him once that if I ever had to pick another father, it would be him. We had a great time working on the Blinn construction projects. A great loss for Brenham but a new angel in heaven. We will miss him.

I first met Dick in 1974 when he worked as Consulting Engineer to the City of Wharton. As bond financing consultant to the City, I found Dick to be a pleasure to work with in the bond financing process. I would encounter him from time to time over the years and found him to be a man of integrity and honor. He was without a doubt an excellent engineer evidenced by the firm he left, its engineers and the reputation that O'Malley Engineers enjoys today.
My sympathies to the family and friends that have lost someone I remember as a true gentleman.

I didn't realize he had been ill, and I know it's probably been a tough time for you all.
I know times will continue to be hard and painful, but with the Lord's help you can find the peace and healing.....that is my prayer for you.
He always had a smile on his face, and I will remember him that way.
God bless you all!
All my love and prayers to the family!

An outstanding engineer, husband and friend...and an OK golfer. Dick was always the one to focus the discussion when our professional liability insurance meetings tended to ramble. We will miss his friendship and leadership.
Dick brought that same focus to his golf game but also had the patience to play with those who truly struggled (me). I learned more about golf during our games in Kauai then in a season's worth in La Crosse.

Please accept our condolances at the great loss of Dick. He was a special man to all that he met. Everyone that knew him called him friend. Even our children commented how he was so open and had that special smile.
Pam and I are out of town working in New Orleans for a few months so we will not be able to attend his services, but we will say a rosary for him and your family.
I know that Dick will be rejoicing with God in Heaven and praying for all of us.

We have such special memories of you and Dickie. You guys were some of the first O'Malley's I met the first time I came to Brenham. We will always remember and appreciate how you drove all the way to Oklahoma for our wedding 38 years ago. In fact you guys made every wedding special.
Dickie's hugs and sweet smile will surely be missed here on earth, but I bet Heaven already has some new Cuckoo Club members.
We love you.

Not only have you lost a beloved member of your family, but also many of us have lost one of the most respected and beloved friends we have ever had. Dick was not only a supporter of our beloved profession of engineering; he was a model of honesty, integrity, and devotion to his fellow humans.
We are hopeful that your faith and your family unity will help you to recover soon from the grief you are now feeling. You will remain in our hearts and minds,

Dear Marcena, children and grandchildren, Mary Ann and Dan,
I feel your great loss at the passing of this wonderful husband, father, grandfather and one of my most favorite cousins. Dick was more like a brother to me in our growing up years in Minnetex, I believe at times he would have fought for me more than my own brothers. Dick was always the peacemaker. He will always be remembered as one of the most joyful, gentle, kindest persons in the entire world. He always had the nicest way to say things. And this I know for sure, Dick had built up many treasures in heaven while he was on this earth and I know he is now rejoicing with Jesus in his eternal home where I plan to see him again. He will be missed by so very many lives that he has touched.
