In Memory of Richard Powell
Early Friday morning, April 27, our dear friend, Dick Powell passed away. 'Mr. Powell' was a beloved faculty member, teacher and friend. He taught at Bishop Chatard for over 40 years.
Those of you who know Dick know that BCHS and the Catholic church have never known a better servant and friend. He was Chatard's biggest fan in every way.
Read his life story from the Indy Star.
Watch a video of his time at BCHS.
BCHS students lined the streets, as the funeral procession passed by, in honor of Mr. Powell's life and contributions to all those at Bishop Chatard.
His famiily sent this message to the BCHS Community:
"We want to extend a huge thank you to the entire Bishop Chatard Community. Dick loved BCHS and dedicated his life work to the school.
Words cannot express how much we were moved by the students respectfully lining the streets with hands over their heart and then singing the Chatard fight song. It was such an amazing tribute to Dick.
We have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support that we have received from Bishop Chatard High School Community. We feel cherished and are so honored that Chatard loved Dick as much as we did. We are so thankful to you all."
