Richard Colby

Rich, you have been gone almost a year already. I miss and think of you every single day. I have your keychain that I see everyday. It’s a blue anchor. So fitting because you were my anchor for many years. I could count on you for anything. I sure miss you in my life. Tuff and I are doing ok but without you our lives are empty now. Will see you again someday. I will always love you. ❤ Peggy (P)

My condolences to Richard's family. He was my insurance agent for a few years before he retired. He was a huge help to me in navigating this very confusing issue after I retired in 2014. I thought very highly of him and am saddened by his passing.

I will miss you Rich with all my heart. We had about 28 years together filled with fun, travel, wonderful dinners with family and some great pool parties with family and friends. My children Erich (Kim) Kelley, Shannon (Mike) Barnhill and Shane Kelley and my grandchildren Caleb, Ethan, Xander, Gabe and Cora also love you and will miss you in their lives.

I have known Rich for about 10 years. He is someone I admire and respect tremendously. My children have had the pleasure of being around him since they were born. A few years ago I remember a touching moment when our family went to dinner with Rich and Peggy. As we walked to the car my son grabbed Rich's hand. I was fortunate to snap a pic of the two walking together. I will miss Rich. His jokes, his wit, his kindness, gentle nature and his work ethic will be remembered.

I remember watching Dick star on the tennis court back in high school. Years later
we were all so happy when Dick finally showed up at our class reunions. It was good to be with him again at John Quirings memorial. Condolences to Karen who was a devoted sister.
