Richard "Dick" Michel, 63, Sandusky, died Wednesday, October 19, 2016, in Firelands Regional Medical Center, Main Campus, following complications from a lengthy battle with Crohn's Disease.
He was born November 22, 1952, in Sandusky, and was a 1970 graduate of St. Mary's High School.
He served in the National Guard, and worked at Scott Paper and Goodwill. He was a lifetime member of St. Mary's Catholic Church, and enjoyed poker and sports of all kinds; his love for the New York Yankees was second only to the love that he had in his heart for his family.

His wife, Virginia (Hayberger) Michel, and his mother, Carmelita K. (Hiss) Michel, preceded him in death.
