Richard J. Hoagland

Dear Rachael and Family,

I want to express my deepest sympathy to you, Richard's wife, and your entire family. This is such a tragic event. I have thought of Richard often over the years, and, for all his excellence as a boy and as a student, I remember Richard best for two qualities: a great sense of humor and a great desire to succeed. He was a man who took pride in his performance. His life ended much too early, but the impact he had will last many lifetimes more. You are also in...

Rachael,

I was so sorry to hear about the loss of your mother and brother.

I remember going to your mom for my first haircut- in your kitchen before she even had her shop open.

Richard was a great kid. Yes, to me he was a kid. He was fun and a great guy to be around.

I know that you will miss them both greatly.

I would like to hear from you. Please e-mail me.

Rachael & Family,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I graduated with Rich and will never forget him. He was such a great person to be around. He always had a smile on his face. He will be deeply missed.

Rachael,
I was very sorry to hear about your mom and Rich. My deepest sympathies go out to you and Rich's wife.

Rachael, Clara and family,
It's with a heavy heart I express my sympathy to you. I know we do not have to tell you how many people Rich made smile over the years, including me. Rich will always be among us; You are in my thoughts in prayers.

Dear Clara, Rachael, & Family,
By way of introduction, we met Richard many years ago on one of his trips to Florida and spent a lovely day together. We extend our sympathy and prayers to you all at this very difficult time. May God Bless You.

One can never know what tomorrow brings... My heart goes out to you.

Growing up my family was very good friends with John $ Sheryl and spent many hours playing with Richie & Rachael when they were babies. Sheryl did my entire families hair!

Just this past summer I ran into Sheryl in Grand Gorge while she was here visiting, I had not seen her in years. She was her same beautiful self, and we talked for probably an hour catching up on eachothers families. She told me of how...

Although we have not met all of the family, Sheryl was a dear friend. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time.

Rachael, Clara and family,
My deepest sympathies for your loss. During our days at Gilboa and beyond Rich was like an older brother to me. I will most remember his smile and unique sense of humor.
