Richard Demers

I will miss my friend, mentor, confidant and guardian angel to my family when at the premier health organization of this country. His friendly mannerism generated loyalty not just to him but to his teammates as a whole. We all wanted to please Rick. I've have too many tears and not enough times with a great man. I will never walk into HUP and not feel the tug to visit him down the hall... RIP Rick. We will try our best to carry the torch you lit in each of us.

On behalf of the National Association of Specialty Pharmacy, we wish to express our deepest heartfelt sympathies to Rick's family, friends, and colleagues. We were so very fortunate for his willingness to share his time, energy, talents and knowledge with us and will forever be grateful for the opportunity to work closely with him. He will be missed!!

I am so sorry to hear of Rick´s passing. He was an outstanding pharmacy leader and a great friend! I shall miss his laugh and great sense of humor.

My heartfelt condolences to the Demers family. Rick was one of the first people I met upon my arrival at HUP nearly 30 years ago. He always made time for me. He taught me a great deal about a great many things. Like everyone else, I will miss him. God bless you my friend.

Dear Karen and family, my sincere condolences to you all. Rick and I grew up together and were next-door neighbors for many years. I have many fond memories of building snow forts and playing badminton in the yard. We lost touch after high school, but we connected last year. He will be in my prayers as well all of you. God bless. Love, claudette dachowski

Rick was my next door neighbor at a very young age. We had good times together on Oak St. In Manchester

I wish to express my heartfelt condolences for your tragic loss of Rick. Rick was an exuberant nor´easter from the first time we met and stayed that way throughout his life. He possessed a great desire to be a highly accomplished pharmacist leader and always to provide the highest level of pharmaceutical care. The pharmacy profession is richer from his constant striving and many professional achievements. God bless and keep him. Rest in Peace.

Karen and family, my deepest condolences to you. Rick was a visionary leader in the world of pharmacy and we will miss him greatly. My thoughts are with you in this saddest of times.
