Richard Francis DeMong

I only recently learned of Rich's death. I am so sorry. I have the privilege of knowing Linda and Rich for many, many years (44--for Linda). It's sad to hear of losing Rich. He was a very accomplished many and a kind and caring person.

I was blessed to know Rich during his Air Force Reserves career and to continue to keep in touch when my son Tom was a student of his at McIntire School of Commerce. We spent many hours together and all those times were so fun and rewarding. My condolences to all of his loved ones.

Rich DeMong leaves the legacy of a well lived life of service to God, Country and family. May he rest in eternal peace. He was beloved by so many.

Dear Cheri and Lynn, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your dad. I have memories of having sleepovers at your house in Ivy in the 80's and 90's, when sweet old Nelly was still running around. I remember your dad as an affable and loving father. I had no idea (until reading this obituary) what an amazing and accomplished life he led aside from being your dad! How proud you must be. My prayers are with you as you grieve his passing. All my love, an old friend from the old neighborhood

Hutch , While I never knew Mr. Demong personally, as an editor of business publications, I knew he was held in high esteem by his colleagues. He was an extraordinary man and may the memories of a life with him sustain you in this time of grief. You are in my prayers. Mignon Tucker

On behalf of The (Senior) Center community, my condolences to Rich's family and friends. I was blessed to know Rich first professionally then as a friend. He was a vital member of our Board of Directors during the challenging and exciting times of envisioning The Center at Belvedere and gave constant wise insights and perspectives throughout his tenure. What a legacy he left through his beloved family as well as his career and community service. Peter M. Thompson Executive Director, The Center

You will be missed by all. Farewell Airman, farewell. Rich Thomas SF Captain
