Not sure what to say?

I met Rich when I was with JMK BMW and we quickly bonded. I continued working with him for years in my own business. Sometimes we would just have social calls. He always talked about his lovely wife, Betty and how much they enjoyed life. He was a man of integrity. I think of Rich often with fond memories. He is greatly missed!

Rich is in the presence of the Lord. He will be greatly missed by his family and all of us who knew him.

Betty and Family,
We were so sorry to hear of Rich's passing. He was a great man and neighbor and will be missed by so many. Our deepest condolences go out to the whole Mabee family.

Our deepest condolences. Rich was a great friend at RYC for more than 20 years. We will miss his humor and willingness to help with anything. So sorry for your loss.

Betty, While Bill and I are so sad that Rich won't be able to save our seat at church anymore, we are comforted knowing he is with Jesus. Rich was such a role-model to both me and Bill. The example the two of you set is something we aspire to. Rich was such a character, always putting a smile on our faces. We are so fortunate to have had him in our lives, even though it was somewhat of a short time. We will miss his sass, his welcoming smile, his encouraging words. Betty, Bill and I...

Rich was a great friend and encouragement in my early years as a pastor. He even let me borrow his Vet for visitation ministry. Betty, I have wonderful memories of you two as a couple. I look forward to seeing Rich on the other side. Well done, faithful servant.

Rich was one of my mentors early on in the car business. Witty, kind and honest through and through. A truly decent man who led a righteous life - both personally and professionally. My deepest sympathy to Betty and the entire family. I will miss our phone conversations and I will miss you dearly
, Rich.

My deepest condolences go out to the Mabee family. I have fond memories of Rich growing up in Winfield Park. He was always a lot of fun. He will surely be missed. Jeanne (Graziano) Marcopul, class of 1960.

Oh my deepest condolences go out to Betty and the rest of Rich's family. I will never forget the kindness Rich and Betty showed to me, Bill, Dan and Kelly even having us over to dinner at their house before we moved to northern VA in 2011. He will be missed and the world is a bit sadder without Rich in it. My deepest sympathies to Betty, their children and grandchildren.
