Richard Holmes

Richie and I were friends for over 25 years. We shared so many experiences,times and stories that I will always cherish. There will never be a day that goes by that I will not remember his smile, his upbeat personilty, and his great wonderful laugh that we all loved. Every time I have a Bud Light will toast his friendship.

We were saddened to hear of the sudden passing of Richie. We came to know him through our son, Scott, and his family. He would often stop on the way to and from the desert. He always showed respect. We became Papa and Mama Stew. His upbeat personality, with a smile and a laugh, was genuine and contagious.
"Cheers" to you Richie. You were one of the "Good Guys"!

Richard's smile is a legacy to his warm-heartedness to his relatives, friends and strangers alike. To Patricia, Kay, Paul and family, we send our heartfelt condolences and prayers. I will always remember what a joy he was to his family.

They say that a person is judged by how many friends he has. I say they are judged not by how many but by the quality of that friendship. Richie had a hand shake and a laugh that got to you! Here's to that laugh, here is to winning over bartenders only as you could, here is to you winning the many jackpots, here is to one of the good guys!

Richard started work at Pappy's Market when he was just 17, and thus began our friendship...he was an adopted uncle to our daughter, great uncle to our grand daughters, and faithful friend to us! We will always miss the smile, but especially the laughter, his was so infectious and recognizable from afar! We will miss you, dear friend, forever! The East Family

My husband has been in the beer business for 36 years, and I can honestly say Rich was one of the nicest guys I met during those years. He always greeted me with a hug and a smile, and when we talked it was simply a pleasure. No one had a better laugh than Rich. He was a unique person and a good guy. My condolences to his family.
