Hello,
We would like to express our deepest condolences and also let the Trevithick Family know that we recently sent Care Packages to American troops in the war zones. Each box carried a dedication sheet that includes the name, service information and a photo of your loved one. We recognize that this is a humble tribute, but we wanted you to know that it is heartfelt and made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals in the youth hockey community and beyond. We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you strong.
Sincerely,

Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers today.
The Wind on The Downs
“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”
(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )
Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….
“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”
Please contact me and I will email you back a copy of the
Angel and soldier drawing I have shared here.
I did not know Richard, but I am remembering on
this day he gave his all.
He is my hero.

We want to express our deepest sympathies to you all for your loss. My heart and prayers go out to you in this time of sorrow. C. Co. 9th EN is my family here in Germany and Richard was a part of this family. To convey how we all felt about Richard, I want to share my husband's words that were written as a small part of the many memorials written in honor of him…Randal wrote, “TIC” as he was affectionately known to us all, served his country, his family, his friends, and his brothers-in-arms with honor, dignity, and pride. He was a hero that day. He will forever be a hero to us all. We thank you Tic for the time we shared, you can rest assured you will be in our thoughts daily until we meet again. “DAWGS OF WAR”! We will miss Richard greatly. It was an honor and to have known him.
