Richard P. Cousineau

Dick was a wonderful friend and wise advisor for me when I was a minister at my first settlement in Whittier, California. I loved having discussions with him about religion or rather non-religion. But more than than, he stood up for me as the best man for my marriage to Julie Mack, a journalist [we have been married for 27 years now, which is something for each of us are on our second marriage]. Dick would speak of his childhood in Watts, California, which at the time was a wonderfully...

I forgot to fill this in the first time I submitted. Richard was a boyhood friend. We lived and grew up together in Los Angeles. We went to school together from grade 1-12. We saw each other from time to time. I am sorry to hear of his passing. I remember the time I fell out of a tree in front of his house and broke my arm. We were about 8 yrs old. I was born on Jan 8, 1935, 6 days after Rich. God bless him and his family and love to all.

Dick was a dear friend and I will miss him dearly. I will miss his warmth and sense of humor is deep intelligence. We had such wonderful conversations. And he meant so much to me when I was a minister in Whittier.goodbye dear friend, love Harold

What a tremendous loss to our community & so many, many people who knew & loved him. He gave so much of himself & it was all good! It's not often such a wonderful human being comes into our lives & those of us fortunate to know him will truly miss him.

I was saddened to hear of Dick's passing; I am happy to have known him and I will miss him.

Hooray for Dick's inspiring life. I knew him and appreciated him when we were both participating in the Santa Barbara Master Chorale over many years. I shared his philosophy in so many ways. I cherish his memory.

I am so sorry to hear about the death of my friend and fellow geologist, Dick Cousineau. Dick was a great guy and I will miss him. My thoughts and prayers are with the Cousineau family at this time.

My sincere condolences to the family for the loss of your loved one. May prayers strengthen you and memories comfort you, and may our Lord Jesus Christ and God our Father, who loves us, comfort your hearts and "make you firm". (2 Thessalonians 2:16, 17)
