I still miss you. I always wish we could talk. Teresa

Dear Michael Richard: I am so sorry to learn on John Patrick's death. A light has gone out in the world, well, in my world. Please take care of yourself. I will miss John and I would miss you, too.

John Patrick was a dear friend for over 30 years. Over the last several years we were intermittently in touch by email. My husband and I met him in college and were happy and proud to have him in our lives. We will miss him, and we will miss all the writing he had yet to do.

Michael,
You and your family have always held a special place in our hearts. My most sincere sympathy for you and Adam.
With Love,
Sylvia

Michael,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and Adam at this difficult time!
Love Jeanette, Delbert, Tory, Nicole & Clarissa

Your kind heart will be sorely missed by all in our family! We will miss the talks during the holiday festivities, especially those centered around plants & flowers. We are losing you in presence, but your warm smile and generous soul will be remembered in our hearts forever!
With love,
Greg, Carol & Chan

JP was a philosopher and student of life by study and by living. He was a friend and his presence and his thoughts will be missed.

Requiescat in pace.

I called him in the morning to get him moving inasmuch as he liked to sleep in. It must have taken me a good 5 minutes to convince him to get out of bed. When we finally got up north and started paddling John was having a great time. The river really isn't deep and is seldom over your head although it can be kind of cool depending on...
