Richard L. Barecki

Dr. Richard Barecki, 65, entered into Heaven on November 5, 2010, where he was excited to have God teach him the secrets of the Universe. Richard was a 1970 graduate of the University of Michigan and was a huge Wolverine fan. He loved being a dentist during his many years in Michigan, where he founded the Michigan Academy of Dentistry for the Handicapped. He moved to Denver in 2007, and began a new practice here. Richard was an avid outdoorsman, and a man of strong faith. He will be greatly missed by the many friends he made and touched in such a short time. Richard is survived by his wife, Bonee; his children Gregory (Nicole) and Julie (Derek Brown) Barecki; two grandchildren, Isabella and Simone Brown; one brother Chris (Sandy) Barecki; sisters-in-law Judie and Bonnie Barecki; many nieces and nephews.
