Psalm 90:10 says that the days of our years are 70 years, And if because of special mightiness they are 80 years.

He made me the best pickled eggs when we camped. I don't think I ever saw Rich that he wasn't eating. We sure had marvelous camping days in Myrtle Beach and Sebastian. Always lots of fun...making wonderful memories!! He was a treasure/one of a kind...he was a gift to us all!

Keeping you all in our prayers..love you Cathy Hahn and family

Uncle Richie I love you so much. Wish you had the chance to meet your 2nd nephew. You will always be remembered. SIP

Our sincere condolences to Trase & all family members for the loss of their beloved Richie. We have many beautiful memories of him & his father. One of the fondest is the huge family reunion that Richy & Trace
hosted at their home many years ago. We consider ourselves so fortunate to have had such a special nephew. He will be greatly missed.

Iam saddened by the passing of my dear cousin,Richie who was a vital member of our family. He was a great man, devoted son, brother, husband, father and grandfather. We had many great times as cousins of a rather large, close knit family. My heartfelt thoughts and prayers to his lovely wife, endearing daughters and especially all his grandchildre, the light of his life. Happy fishing Richie. You will be missed with all my heart forever.
Your loving cousin, Pat (Podolak)Jones,...

I am so saddened to hear of the passing of one of the sweetest and funniest work friends I've ever had. The laughter he spread was a balm here. My deepest sympathies to Scruffy's family. He will sure be missed here at the plant. Prayers and love, Tonya
