Not sure what to say?

So sorry to read about your loss. I know Richard thought the world of my dad. They are having a good talk now about all the rich history of this area. I remember him coming out to the house several times to talk to Dad. Many times he brought his family with him.

Nancy & Adam so sorry to hear of Richard's promotion to heaven. Sending you both hugs & prayers.

Dear Nancy and Adam, Please accept our deepest sympathy for Richard's passing. Although the times our families shared together were way too few, the Christmas parties at St. Vincents, visit to Higgins Lake, Sunday dinners at holidays, hay rides on the farm, and many others remain cherished memories of our wonderful friend Richard and his family. You are in our prayers. Sincerely, Ralph, Anne, Joseph (Wagashens), and Benjamin (Makate Maingan)

Nancy and Adam, I'm very sorry to hear of Richards passing. I always enjoyed seeing his collection of arrowheads and talking about Native American history. Prayers to you both.

I went to school with Richard and had the chance to talk to him the last few months at the Cancer Center. Our hearts go out to you. Bill Csapos & Sally Curtis

So sorry to hear of your loss. My condolences to your family.

Nancy and Adam, sorry to hear about Richard. Richard and my brother Kurt and I talked a few times about arrowheads we had found, and he told us about some of the items he had found. I've recently been in one of our fields picking up stones, and we have found several Indian artifacts in that field. I told Peggy that if I found any arrowheads I was going to take a picture of them for Richard; I was sure that would make his day. Also remember talking with him at auction sales, he'll be missed. ...

Sorry to hear of Richard's passing. My prayers for his family and friends. May he rest in peace.

So very sorry to hear of the loss of your beloved husband and father. We at the South Lansing District Library are very saddened and send our love, prayers and condolences to Adam and his family.
