A lot of people may not know or remember trainer Richard “Dick” Roadarmel, but I just found out at Harrisburg that he passed away. He was 87 years old.
Dick was a small stable trainer who had a long career and spent a major portion of his career training for U.C. Steele. After Steele sold his farm, Dick continued to train for him, and a few other select clients. He was well known in small circles for training fillies, which eventually became broodmares, and turned out some very nice horses. He retired after about a 30-year career. Dick was truly one of racing's good guys. A real gentleman. Condolences, thoughts, and prayers to his family, friends, and loved ones.

Just a really nice man, never heard a bad word from him or about him. RIP

Very true. Thank you for posting this. In my experience, both he and Steele were nice guys, good guys.
