Not sure what to say?

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

Please accept my deepest sympathies for your loss. I remember 'Ricky'. He was my best friend, Sally's older brother. He had the best collection of comic books and Mad Magazines. They filled a whole foot locker. He was generous in letting us 'girls' read them on rainy summer afternoons.

Please accept my condolences. I will always remember Rick as a good friend, a kind and brilliant person. We shared so many classes together and many hours on the Scholium. I am so sorry for your loss. Jim Amsterdam (EA'71)

To Rick's family:

I worked with Rick on and off for many years on various RI history projects. He was a rare breath of fresh air in the field of historic preservation: funny, authoritative, decisive, kind, and above all, smart as a whip. He was the real thing, and will be greatly missed.

To the Greenwood Family,
I had the pleasure of working with Rick for many years while in state service. He was the consummate professional and gentleman. His commitment to historic preservation in Rhode Island will be greatly missed but his legacy will live on. God bless him.
My deepest sympathies for your loss.

My deepest condolences to Rick's family, my fondest memories at Episcopal involve Rick.

Dear Ginny, Tim and Mrs. Greenwood - I'm surprised and saddened. Please accept my sympathy. I hadn't seen Rick for 37 years; he's locked in my memory as a young man with an influential mind, which makes it difficult to realize that he's now gone. Sincere condolences.

I send my deepest condolences to your family. I was a classmate of Rick's at Episcopal Academy and we were both teammates on the Boys Varsity Swim Team

Dear Ginny,
I am shocked and so saddened by Rick's death. I remember so fondly our elementary school days at EA when Rick first shared his passion for history and in particular the Civil War. And days in Mr. Plant's Greek class. Rick was so bright, so caring, and much beloved.
