Richard Steele Navin

Rick was truly a gentleman. I met him and Steve when they first came up the highway to Fairbanks. I was a single mother on my way to Fairbanks with my 5-year old daughter. I was driving home from California and had been sleeping in the car on the way up. We met while having dinner at the Buffalo Lodge in Big Delta. They asked where I was staying and I told them in my car. They insisted I sleep in their room at the lodge. I was pretty leary of the idea, but after talking to them...

Good travels, Rick. Thanks for everything.

Bonnie It is with great sadness that I read of Rick's passing. I had always wanted to catch up with you both at Christmas but lost track of a good address. Tom Rosadiuk and I both loved him. Tom held him in very high regard for all those years they worked together in Tom's Engerineering business. I worked with and for Rick at the Borough for many years. It was such a pleasure; he was a great friend as well as a great boss. We are still sort of in Alaska but stretched between outside...

So many good times Rick! Our memories can't even count 'em. Big I, Boat Baseball, the sailboat, fighting about the road service. Always always always good times and memories. And your were always the gent! Our very best to Bonnie and the whole family!

Many memories my friend. Thank-you .

Rick was a man whose wry sense of humor never deserted him. His courtesy, even to fools, was remarkable. He lives large in memory. My sympathies are with Bonnie and Rick's family. Elizabeth Cook, Fairbanks

My sympathies to Bonnie & Rick's family in this time of loss. Rick was an exceptional person to know - kind, courteous, with a wonderful wry sense of humor. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Janet Matheson, Fairbanks

Oh Bonnie, I am so very sorry for your loss of such a wonderful man. He had such a great sense of humor and was always fun to be around.
