Dearest LaDonna- Jack and I are so sorry to hear about Richard. We enjoyed the time that we had with both of you at the Rotary function and will always remember his smile and gentleness.

Dear LaDonna and Family, We were shocked and saddened by Richard's death. Our thoughts went to Phillipsville when Russ worked down there, our stay at your park, our visits to your store and home, etc., they definitely made our time more enjoyable. We're so very sorry for your loss and extend our heartfelt sympathy. Russ and Joan

To the family of Richard Head. Very
sorry to hear and read of his unexpected passing. Rich had a "zest" for life that was a joy
to be around. We go back to Eureka
on "G" St. when we could walk down
the alley. His outlook and ability
to be helpful and friendly was a
rare trait, which we all will remember Rich for. His family should
be proud of the contribution he made to Humboldt County. Rich will
be missed.

Dear LaDonna, I was very shocked and sorry to hear of Richard's sudden death. Please know that many are sharing your sorrow. I have such wonderful memories of the New Year's parties at Hartsook Inn and remember what a great host he was. I am very saddened that we have lost another beloved member of our great class of '62. He will be missed.

I will always remember how gracious and helpful Richard was when I first bought the Riverwood Inn. All the times he would let us get ice from his machine when ours broke down, which was every holiday, special event, Redwood Run and New Years. To LaDonna and to Earl and the rest of the family, our sympathies and prayers are going out for all of you.

LaDonna, Barbara, Tom and the rest of the family:
Oh my God! I was not in anyway as close to him as you, but I can not remember a time in my life when I did not enjoy his smile and especially appreciate his presence........going back to age 9 in 1956. What a loss to all of us! I am stunned with grief over our loss. A part of the joy of our life, Richard has passed away. We will all miss him.

LaDonna, our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. We thank you and Richard for our wonderful New Years parties at Hartsook. The class of 62' will miss Richard as will Paulette and I. He was always a lot of fun and loved life....He will surely be missed. We will not make the service on Thursday but will be there in spirit. Richard will be getting our party house in order where we all will be together again..... Our Love, Kit and Paulette Corbin.....
