Richard Nettleton

Rich was a great mentor and friend. He was one of the first engineers I met after graduation. His leadership and professionalism with ASCE, NSPE, and the regional standards left a significant impression on me. I will always remember his smile and kindness. He will be greatly missed.

My heartfelt sorrow and prayers to Rich's family. Rich was a man of true integrity, dedicated to his profession and public service to the City of Virginia Beach and the region. Rich was a great leader and a great teacher. I truly enjoyed working with Rich during my tenure with the CVB-Department of Public Utilities. Volunteering his time in so many ways one particularly his lunchtime professional engineering test preparation class. So many of his colleagues achieved their PE license...

Rich was a great guy. He gave me our first large contract when my company was less than 1 year old. He took a chance on me like he did many others. Kind, friendly and always with that smile and calm demeanor. He will be missed.

I had the honor of knowing and working with Rich as a consultant for the past 28 years. The photo of him says it all. Warm smile and a welcoming handshake. Rich will be missed by all who knew him.

Rich,

My words just can't express the loss we all share. Your were a great boss. Your kindness you showed all your employees and that smile. You will be greatly missed through the city and the community. My thoughts and prayers are with your family at this difficult time.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

I am so sorry for your tragic loss. My heart goes out to you and I pray for strength and healing.

I knew Rich during my entire employment with the City. He had a pleasant personality that you did not forget after meeting him. A very wonderful man to have been associated with. Sarah, may God hold you and your family close and may you realize his peace in this trying time.

God Bless,
Waid and Linda Kidd
