To the Feld family:
I was so sorry to hear of Mr.Feld's passing. He was my manager for many years at SBC and I could not have had a better person to work for all those years. All the youthful "enthusiasm" that he endured with such patience! A fun guy who my husband and daughter got the biggest kick out of when we would bump into him over the years. Dennis will miss his visits with Dick at Lowe's.
Our sincerest condolences on your loss, Mary and Dennis St.Clair

Although we never met, I felt that I knew Rich from all the stories about him that Dick told me while we were working together at Peabody. My thoughts are with the family during this difficult time.

Take comfort in the fond memories you hold in your heart. I personally recall the kind-hearted, very friendly greeting I received each morning during carpool to Vianney. A great way to start the day and a true reflection of the person who so many enjoyed knowing.
Cheers to a life well lived!

My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Feld family. We were blessed to meet Rich when he would stop by and minister to my dad. My dad SO looked forward to each and every visit, and it made him anticpate every time Mr. Feld would visit with a smile. He will always be remembered for his kindness and patience.
