Dear Beverly and all the family:
So very sorry to hear of your loss. All of you have my deepest sympathy. I have known Richard since he was a teenager and we were always friends. We graduated from CL Central in 1951. The last time I saw you both was at the 60 year reunion in 2011. I will cherish the memory. Best wishes to all.

I remember when I was a little girl and I would play in your yard and eat ice cream. You would always smile when you saw us run up to you. I remember you and Beverly's 50 th wedding anniversary celebrated at the Motherlode Lodge in Hatchers Pass Alaska, and you gave me a big hug. I will miss you until we hug again up in Heaven.

My thoughts and prayers have been with you all. I am so glad that I had the chance to visit with him the short time I did. Life gets in the way - and we so often lose touch with one another. Please know that Gloria's and my thoughts and prayers are with you all. Richard was an amazingly talented man. My son Jeff, was in amazement at his works of art. I know he will be missed - but his memory and artwork go on. I love you all.

Dear Beverly, Rick, Shelly, Nick, Ryan, John, Robert & Family. I am very sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you. Richard was an amazing man. I will never forget the time he gifted me with a hand-crafted cross with a dove for me, that he made out of fine wood. He was such a thoughtful generous and fun person. I have truly been blessed to have been able to know him.
