Rick Hartz and Family, Our deepest sympathy goes out to you all. Your dad is a great guy, you notice I said "is" The reason being is that only the body dies the spirit will live on in everyone he has touched, His love and knowledge that he has passed down through generations will live on through you, your children, and there children,etc... So let it be known he is still here in spirit for the spirit never dies only the body. Peace be with you and your family

"Sis" [Jean] & Family
Don and I would like to express our deepest sympathy to your and yours. It was so nice seeing you and Rich at our 50th reunion last year. A sudden loss like this is so difficult to deal with, but I am sure you have many wonderful memeories that you will be able to hold in your heart in the weeks and months to come and may they be a source of comfort to you and yours. Rich was a wonderful person and I am sure he is going to be missed by many.
God Bless you and yours and may he also give you the strength to go on in your lives with those memories that you all hold so dear.
A mans true legacy is the family, friends and memories he leaves behind and it sounds as though his is truly a great legacy.
Again may God continue to bless you all.
With Sincere Sympathy,

He will be remembered as you share your stories and memories of how he lived his life and how very much he meant to EVERYONE! May you find comfort throughout this difficult time. May you also know the deep sympathy and concern that is felt for your entire family. We have such fond memories of the numerous visits to Pittsburgh and you visiting Dad (John Hartz) here in Ohio. Mike and I feel blessed and thankful we were able to celebrate our recent unity of marriage with him. Uncle Rich we adore you! You will forever be missed.
