Not sure what to say?

I remember when he was in for a hygiene appointment how excited he was to be taking I think over 35 family members on a special vacation. How he and Virginia loved their giant family. I would joke that barely a week would go by without a birthday. Such genuinely caring and loving people. God Bless.

Richard will be remembered by me as kind, friendly , caring, smart and loved his family. Those giant family vacations say a lot . And his trust in having me restore and care for his infectious smile also meant a lot. Thanks Richard
You have left a beautiful legacy.

Dear Forrestel Family; Just to let you know that I really appreciated Dick as I knew him from being a volunteer person up at the Akron Airport for some time. Dick would often listen to my concerns of any kind. Sometimes as we would be eliminating weeds up on the hill to the Airport he would be riding his own lawn mower up to cut grass and he would stop to talk to myself and 2 boys helping.

Richard was a truly kind and gracious man with a loving soul. It has been my pleasure to be his dentist for many years. He shared many awesome tales that showed his tender side, yet his deliberate nature and engineering thought processes were transparent, demonstrating a great business acumen as well. We will truly miss him. But now he can be at rest with his sweetheart of 67 years. I often marveled at their raising 11 of you and all the trips to the Camen Islands surrounded by all they loved...

My deepest sympathy to you Peter and your family.
