Sandy,

May the peace which comes from the memories of the love you and Richard shared, comfort you now and in the days ahead.

Richard always had a smile on his face and he was the only guy I know who loved to read romance novels (this he told me)! Richard will be missed at Shannon & Wilson!

My thoughts are with you and your family.

My sympathy to you and your family, Sandy, and to all his friends there in St. Louis. It was always such a pleasure to run into Rich here in Seattle at Shannon & Wilson, and to work with him. We'll miss him.

I am remembering that Sandy and Richard stopped in Zanesville, Ohio, to visit my brother, Fritz Frueh, at his office. How we wish thatt we could have become better acquainted with the Fruehs of MO and shared more of our earlier geneology info. We send our sympathy to you at this difficult time. With fond regards, Marguerite Frueh Knispel-Schmidt and the Ohio Frueh Family.

I wish to send my condolances to Richard's family. I was honored to work with Richard as a volunteer Board member for the SAVE Coalition, for which he was the Chairman. Richard did a great service for the people of the State of Missouri through this organization, and his years of work as a Professional Engineer was a great benefit to society. He will be missed.
