Bob told me that his Dad really like the shoes I picked and he was always wearing it. It was in 96 when I had a chance to meet him, we even went to a family gathering and met many of Bob's relatives. I always ask Bob how his Dad and Mom and if he still wears the shoes. I am very sad to hear this news but there is happiness that now we know he is resting in a quiet place and we will always remember him. My sincerest condolences to all the Swick Family.

Thany you, Uncle Richard, for teaching me by your example how to do a job well and to stick to a task until it's done the best you can. I will always recall with fondness and a tear or two, the great times we, my siblings, cousins and I, had when the family gathered in Paddock Lake or in one of our homes in the Chicago area. You were an exceptional man and you set an exceptional example for us all. Sleep in peace.

I miss Uncle Rich. He took the place of my Father and was the Grandfather to my children. I love him so much…he was my guide, mentor, inspiration, teacher and advisor. He never hesitated to tell me when I was right…or when I was wrong (and I especially paid attention to the latter). Life is now a little emptier without him. It is a comfort to know how much love he spread around and how much love he received in return. His life was so filled with love, laughter and sharing that I believe he will continue to live through all of us who knew and loved him. Here’s to you, Uncle Rich…I’ll love you forever. Love, Mark (Nephew)

Uncle Rich, Les (my dad) and Uncle Ches were always a stitch when they were together. I remember all the good times we had at Grandma Julie's and Grandpa Tony's at both Nelson Street and in Paddock Lake. And my kids (Jennifer, David and Steven) always said Uncle Rich was the Grandpa they never had since my dad (Les) died at such an early age. They never knew their Grandpa. Dad died long before I was married. Uncle Rich was always so good to my kids on their birthdays, Christmas and graduations. We will all miss him and the good times we all had together...Nephew Jim

Uncle Rich will be missed very much. When anyone we love leaves us and moves to the spirit world, it is those left behind that feel the sorrow. I still miss my dad, his brother, even though it has been several years. At least now, Lester, Chester and Richard are together and probably having a great time.
Our sympathy goes out to all family members.

Listening to Uncle Richard tell stories about different happenings in his life were the highlight of many a family visit. No one could tell a joke or story like Uncle Richard could. I have great memories of all the families gathering together in Uncle Richard and Aunt Frances basement for the annual Christmas party. Uncle Richard accomplished many things in his life- it is people like my Uncle Richard who inspired Tom Brokaw to write a book called "The Greatest Generation" I will always have great memories of Uncle Richard.

Larry and I are deeply saddened by the loss of Uncle Rich. He was my
very favorite Uncle and I miss him. He was one of a kind, that's for
sure. The last time I saw him and Aunt Fran was in Vegas probably about
8 years ago. Larry was in IL a couple years ago and visited with them
then. I can't travel by plane with my ear problems. Uncle Rich was
thoughtful, kind, witty, generous and very intelligent. He was so
important in the lives of his extended family.

My brother Tom, my daughter Jessica and myself have fond memories of the time we spent together in Bali. Living so far away from most of extended family, it was a special treat for us. As Uncle George said, you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Grandpa, There are so many things I'm going to miss....The stories you've shared, the majic tricks,jokes, fresh squeezed OJ after an overnight stay, the wonderful trips to the toy store when we were little, the times you babysitted Shannon and I in Las Vegas (How could I ever forget the "wild party" Shannon and I held on one of those nights), dressing you in wigs at holiday parties, the trips you took with us to Asia where I pretented to loose one of your hats in the South China Sea, "Yo!" when someone called your name, Nudenick (the guy that talked to you while you were shaving in the bathroom), wathing the Blues Brothers on LCD....Where do I begin and end? Overall, I will miss your generousity and fun loving nature. I love you Grandpa, you will be dearly remembered. Cory-

I would like to thank everyone who has taken the time to attend the wake, funeral, for those who have called and written, and for everyone who has made donations in Grandpa's name. On behalf of the whole family we cannot thank you enough. We are planning on adding some more pictures and sponsoring this book for the year. Please feel free to share your stories about Senior with us.

Dear Dad,
Thanks for teaching me how to swim, ride a bike, drive a car, use tools, fix things, tell me a million jokes and stories, develop my interest in science and most of all for your generous love. I will miss you and remember you fondly for the rest of my life. Love, your son, Bobby

To Bob et al.
Beth and I wish to extend our deepest sympathies. I had the pleasure of meeting and conversing with your dad on a few occasions over the years; and during those times was able to see the tremendous impact that he made on the Cwick family and all of their friends. He will be greatly missed, but never forgotten...
