Richard R. Gildersleeve

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Rick was a good friend through elementary and high school. We were in many classes and band together. He was kind to everyone and made us smile with that unique humor. May warm memories comfort his family and friends. I can clearly picture him at his drumset when we stopped by his house on Cox Rd. Many happy memories!

He was truly a lovely person.

Lynn, Bess, Andrew,
By chance a friend visiting Ct, came to VT with a RiverEast.I saw Rick's obit. Very sorry to see that you lost him. Sympathy to you all. He was a very nice man Peace, thinking of you, Pat

I was shocked to read of Rick's passing. He was a warm and wonderful person and a hard-worker. His church will miss his dedication.

I am so sorry to hear of Rick's passing, my deepest sympathy to Lynn, Bunny, his children and family. I remember hearing him practicing away on those drums when I would drive by the house on Cox Rd. Years later my husband and I were treated to the result of all that practicing when he played for a party on our patio with his band one summer, they were terrific. Rick was a fine man with a big heart and a gentle spirit, he will be sorely missed.

I am so sorry for your loss. Rick was definitely one of the good guys. I will always remember his welcoming smiling face when I visited the store from childhood through adulthood. To me Rick was family. Beyond that he was a great friend to my son Trevor and I will always appreciate that.
