Richard A. "Rich" DeColibus

I miss you everyday my love. You live within my heart.

My dearest Rich. Sometimes it´s feels like you´ve been gone for a very long time and other days I feel like it happened yesterday. You are never far from me because you live in a special place of my heart.

Sweetheart, thank you for all the memories of 52 years of knowing each other and 18 years of marriage. I will see you again.

I was a card-carrying "Field Marshall" in "DeColibus' Secret Police" (I still have my card!) during my high school years at JF Rhodes. We had so much fun during picnics at Brecksville Reservation. Mr. DeColibus was a great teacher. May he rest in peace.

Richard was the love of my life and will continue to be. I will always remember the wonderful times that we shared. Even in your final days, we shared precious moments.

great teacher had him at Rhodes for chemistry ...his mother was my teacher at Benjamin Franklin 3 grade...both excellent teachers...well done ..god bless

Sit tibi terra levis.May the ground rest lightly on you. Old Roman blessing. Friend, mentor, leader, I was blessed to have known you for 43 years. How many Tuesday mornings we solved the problems of the world at my kitchen table since retirement? You are missed and remembered.

I always had great respect for all Richard did for all of us teachers in CMSD as President of the CTU. God Bless Richard and sincere condolences to all his family and close friends.

No kinder soul ever lived. Rich left us much too soon and will be missed by so many whose lives he enriched. My sympathy and love to his family, now and in the coming days.
