Seeing 250 names on this petition makes my heart ache for Dick because he would have been so humbled by this gesture. I always knew he was special, but seeing how many of you share that sentiment is truly overwhelming.

Seeing this kind of momentum feels like watching the whole town line up to tell a story about a man who meant the world to so many of us. Dick was always there for everyone else and it warms my heart to see that kindness coming back to his memory ten times over.

Community, county, leader extradinair...please name the new Wrightstown bridge after Dick Koltz.
Dick was a great man and he kept the County fair alive and hats off to keep it going. Dick was a great husband, father, grandfather and a great friend. thank you Dick for all you have a accomplished in your life.
Dick always promoted buying from local businesses in Greenleaf and Wrightstown especially. He was a wonderful loving caring man and a friend to many.
I would love to see this happen. He was a wonderful person to all who knew him. Never afraid to give help when ask. He lived by his faith and loved in the same manner. He will be greatly missed. Plus when people pass over this bridge they will be reminded of him. Plus those who don't know him will ask who hev was. His legacy will live on.
God bless the Koltz family......Dick was a blessing to so, so many people. I was saddened this morning to hear of his passing- though heaven is certainly a joyous place now! This was a man who lived his life with his kindness throttle on full open-- one who clearly lived to show all of us a shining example of God's love at work in the world. I did not know Dick well- but in the handful of times I spoke with him, he treated me as graciously as anyone else in his life.
I wish I'd know about this sooner. I'll be spreading the word on Facebook.
This would be a Great Tribute to a Great Man.

I worked with Dick for 32 years and it was just amazing how he was always ready to help someone in need. You loved to be with him.
