Richard Gerald Mendes

I'm thinking of you today; I'm hoping you can hear me. I can't believe you're no longer at my side. Elliott has become my TV Remote Coach. You'd be proud of me! With Elliott's help, I am actually navigating my way finding not only the regular TV Channels; but, I can use the Apple Remote, too ! (LOL) I hope this makes you smile. I know you're running with the Angels. Love you. me

We will miss you!

It has taken me a while to express condolences. Richard was a friend (never said no to a request for help--always kept your best interest in mind--and worked as hard as anyone. We still have Gail and will continue to remain in touch. I will miss you my friend. I will certainly miss you.

Gale, Elliot and Liz,
I was so sad when Barry called to tell me about Richard. My thoughts immediately went to when we met and the fun that we had with our families in Cincinnati.
Please know that I am thinking of you and sending love and hugs. Sandee Golden

I am so very sorry to hear about Richard's passing. I worked for him at the Clark County Water Reclamation District in Las Vegas Nevada. He was by far the best boss and mentor I have ever had. He taught me so much about public service and finance that I will forever be in his debt. WRD was not the same when he left so I took the knowledge he graciously shared with me and moved back to California. I would never have gotten the public service job I now have at the City of Ventura if not for...

Richard was such a kindhearted soul that truly loved his family and friends. We will miss him dearly!

Gale & family
Chuck & I want to sent our thoughts and prayers. May all your happy memories be comfort to you at this difficult time. Dee & Chuck

Gale, Elliott, Elizabeth and family
I was saddened to hear this news. I have such fond memories of Richard and your family going back to Kilgour days. I too remember his wonderful sense of humor, his love for his family and the respect he earned as a city leader. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

May fond memories of Richard bring you comfort during this hard time in your life. Look back on all the good memories you were able to have and smile at the fact you were able to share these before he passed away. We will remember all the fun we had down in Vegas these last years. Our hearts and prayers go out to you and your family.

Love
