George F. Gandenberger "Rick" Iii

My name is Angela (maiden name Muller). Today I have been watching a documentary about the Vietnam War, when I last heard from Rick, writing from Saigon. It prompted me to search on line and found the sad news of his passing two years ago. I send sincere condolences to all his family. I met Rick when I was 15 and he was 16. We were students at the English School in The Hague, Holland and were friends for over a year until our respective parents careers moved us on to different lives. ...

Dear Joyce
Mary Ellen told me about Rick. I am so sorry. Please extend my sympathy to your children. Joyce, I don't have your address or telephone number and would like to talk with you, if I may. Your in my thoughts/
Love,
Elsie Spelman

TO A MAN I KNEW FOR ONLY A SHORT TIME I FEEL A LITTLE SHORT CHANGED THAT I DIDN'T HAVE MORE TIME TO TALK ABOUT
MORE OF THE "IRONIC DETAILS OF LIFE".
WHENEVER I SEE A BOTTLE OF YUENG-LING OR THE NAME FRANK ZAPPA, I WILL THINK
OF YOU, RICK REST IN PEACE RAY

Sorry to hear of the passing of Rick he was a wonderful person and gave his all for everyone he knew and to his family. We were very proud to have known you and your family.

We are sad that our dear cousin Rick had to leave us. We shall always remember his smile and his witty remarks about life. He remains a hero to our family and we have to say here's to a life well lived. Your family in Florida will miss you.

Our deepest sympathy. Rick was a kind and gentle man. It was our privilege to know him. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. He will be greatly missed by all!

I've known Rick since 1961, when I met him in high school. Though circumstances sometimes cut off our communication for brief periods, he's been my one true long-term friend for fifty-four years. My sympathies to his many friends who will miss him as much as I do, and to his wife and family, who I know miss him even more.
