Richard W. Eitel

Our SPFHS '65 Culmen says: Rich steak and potatoes any time hates know it alls who dont know it all very, very special interest lies in watching the N.Y. Yankees lose baseball and football are this boys sports seen working (?) at the Leaders store tall; dark hair future plans include college. (Sadly, I tried submitting the yearbook photo several times and it was not accepted, perhaps because I have Apple technology)

Representing the Scotch Plains-Fanwood High School, Class of '65, we all loved Richard, will miss him deeply and we extend our blessings to his family. What a joy to have seen Richard and Kathie at our 50th Reunion (NJ) in 2015! Since he and I attended Kindergarten together, I saw the same 5 year old face in his 60-ish face with the same genuine sincerity and childlike playfulness!

So so sad to hear of Rich's passing. What a kind loving man and he will be missed by all. All our prayers and love! Mary and Reed Cruit

Dear Kathy and Family,
We were so sorry to hear of Rich's passing. He was a great guy!
Love, Pam and Eddie Abrams

So sorry to hear of Rich's passing. He was a gentle giant. I have many fond memories of him. I first met Rich the first week I started working for him as a senior chemist. There was a drinking water problem at Fort Story so he sent this newbie out in torrential rains with howling winds to solve the problem. I remember returning from my adventure soaked to the bone and slushing to his office. It was dark in the building and I thought everyone was gone. Everyone but Rich, he was there. I...

Met Rich after he retired from PW thru William (Bill) Maxwell. Bill, Rich, and I would have lunch together quite often and discuss new solutions to engineering problems. He was pleasant and laugh a lot when we would discuss off the wall engineering solutions. Lost track of him after Bill passed away 4 years ago. Bill & I enjoyed getting together with Rich. Nice people like Rich are hard to find.
