We received information yesterday that Dick Hoyt, 80, passed away this week. Dick and his son Rick had completed 37 Boston marathons, with Dick pushing Rick, a man with severe cerebral palsy, in his vehicle along that route. They had also competed in numerous other races including Iron Men competitions. Since 2015, a friend of Dick had taken over that job of being the pusher. What greater love can a father show for his son?
Here is a link to a local news story of the men. Dick Hoyt Dies at 80
