Richard Hemker Obituary

Dick was a friend of my family and worked with my father the late Sgt.Ronald Born on the Ohio Highway State Patrol. I remember him visting our house in Findlay, and calling my sister and I "boys"joking. My thoughts and prayers are with Terri.Deb.and Karen. Sincerely, Deborah Born

Knowing Dick since the first day we moved to Findlay in 1972, when he was a Sergeant with the Findlay Post, I came to know him both professionally and socially. I always had the utmost respect for his integrity as a member of the Ohio State Highway Patrol but also for his compassion for others. In the same breath I am not sure that I have met too many others that were more competitive than Dick.
One event that he and I would re-live over the years and laugh was the time that he, while on road patrol, ticketed an overhead airplane for flying too low over his interstate. I am pretty sure that this was a one and only time that a trooper ticketed an airplane and, justifiably so, for the safety of others.

Sorry for your loss. A lot of great memories from the old neighborhood

To all of you.....
As I know many of you, and had your mom as a teacher, I did not know as much about your dad. Reading his history, I can´t get over all his accomplishments! I´m sure he was one of a kind!!
