Not sure what to say?

Bev and family,

So sorry to read of your loss in the Seattle Times. It sounds like Richard was a special husband and father and will be missed by all who knew him. My thoughts are with you and your family. It has been at least 50 years since we last met and I hope we,ll be able to get together in the future.
Your friend from highschool.

Rich, even in illness, you managed to
be a welcoming host to your visitors.
We will always remember your 'flag'
ceremony that marked the beginning and
end of each day in Oregon. You and Bev
were an incredible team and created a
wonderful environment wherever you were. A life well lived despite the
challenges you faced! Maureen and Joe

Please accept our condolences. We can't believe we never had the opportunity to meet Richard. We think of you both every time we enjoy our Manzanita home. Fondly, Myra Friedman and Ralph Fullerton

Rich was one in a million. He always have a story to share and a funny one liner that left me giggling. He loved to watch over us and our home if we were away. He was our self appointment guardian angel and we were so blessed to have known him.

It was with profound sadness that I learned of Richard's passing. A true gentleman in every sense of the word, he was the kind of man you enjoyed being with and could only hope someone such as he would end up as your neighbor. His polite yet engaging sense of humor was quite rare and greatly appreciated. Bev, we will all miss him so yet he will live forever in our hearts as one of the good guys. I will always consider it a privilege to have known him.
