Richard H. Carlson

Love from sister Carole to the STAR in our family! Now there is also a star in the sky named after you. When I look up at night, I see you smiling down at me!

I was Dick's beer rep for Olympia, Labatt's and Rolling Rock back in the good old days of the beer business when friendships and professional relationships were one. I floated some of the great rivers of the west with Dick and Dane, to include the Snake, Green and Teton. I would never have been able to do that without them. Reaching out for Dick today I found instead his obituary, and lost a piece of my heart. Miss you, pal.

A great man, Dick Carlson, always smiling. A good old beer man.

What a fantastic life from a friend who I admired greatly. We had so much fun during our adventures together as Dick was certainly the life of the party in every way. I only wish that there could have been more fishing trips, more beer conventions and time spent with him, his son Dane and his wife Lynn. There will never be a more charismatic guy than Dick (Tonto) Carlson......and his hair was always perfect!

Richard amazing moments, stories, tales, laughs, & experiences were shared by you. At the Green Parrot gatherings you introduced me to your friends & associates as past owner of a town "Fry canyon". Now an extraordinary man that is in heaven with God,s care & love.

Dick you were an amazing person and always a pleasure to be around. It was an honor to have met you. Condolences to the entire Carlson family. We will miss you, sir.....Cheers!
