I happened upon this board and saw the tribute to Mr. Fellows. I was a student of his in Journalism in Packard JHS and the year after I went to PHS, he was tranferred there, so I had the benefit of spending that time with him as well. He was truly a wonderful man and a great teacher. He loved his students, especially the "rough and tumble" guys (such as they were at Plainedge at that time). He was, to me, like the dad I didn't have. He supported me in all my endeavors - my singing, my writing, my teenage angst. He'd drive me home (although he lived within walking distance of the High School) and listen to my stories. He was the greatest and I am sorry not to have the opportunity to tell him so as an adult. Thank you, though, for the information and the chance to say it here. I think about him often with love and gratitude.

I only heard of your passing this morning when I decided to "check up" on my classmates of '73. I was deeply saddened by your passing.. knowing it was years ago, but feeling like it was today. I can't imagine how Wendy feels, but if I remember you and your great smile, you're smiling at her right now, and you're probably very proud of her memorial to you.... Lost but Never Forgoten in my heart.

Hey Pop, How bout them Braves. I share all their games with you, and cant count the times I've reached for the phone to give you a call during the game. You were my rock dad, even when things were so hard on you, you always stood tall. I miss you deeply, talk of you often, drink a toast to you too often, and remember you with PRIDE. Say Hey to all that met you at the gate for me. Please give them my love. Later Pop. Mike

My Uncle Dick was a wonderful man and this is a wonderful memorial to him. Wendy-I was so surprised when I opened the newspaper this morning and saw an article about the memorial you have created for Dick. I will be creating one for my Dad. I hope you are doing well.

Dear Dick,
It is three years ago today since you passed away. I miss you so very much and your sweet memory will always be alive in my heart. Some have said I don't want to get on with my life and perhaps they are right. What most people don't know is how much I loved you and how special our relationship was. It has been told to me by many friends and acquaintances that what we shared in the short 14+ years we were married had never been experienced in a lifetime of their marriage. What high praise for our marriage. I cry for not being able to touch you, kiss you, hold your hand and just plain talk to you. Rest well, Dick, in the knowledge that you are sorely missed and spoken of daily by countless friends who love and miss you, especially me. Your wife, Wendy

Happy Holidays, Dick. You are always in my thoughts, but especially at this time of year. For the first time since Michael died in 1992, I put up a tree and decorations. You would have loved it. I am sorry that I stopped; you enjoyed it so. I believe one day we will be together again and anticipate continuing our love affair into eternity. You wife, Wendy
