Helen, Chip, Skip and Family:

We were so sorry to hear about Rich and Orval. Two great guys! We'll be forever grateful to all of you during Craig's passing, our wedding, and talking us into getting your house you had in Scotia. We'll remember Rich as one of the neighbor kids and for all of his years in Boy Scouts. May the spirit of Rich and Orval live on in within your hearts. Our deepest sympathy and prayers are with all of you during such a difficult time.

Chip and Mrs. Overholt:

Sorr y to hear of Rich's passing. He was a fun loving guy, who would give his shirt to you, if you needed one.

We roomed together in Santa Rosa and it was never a dull moment. He loved his sports and bbq's, like nobody else.

I will remember all the good times we shared, for sure.

I'm sorry I won't be able to attend the services, as I am out of town at the moment.

Regards and best wishes,

Dear Helen & Chip - So sorry to read about Rich. Craig always had such a good time in Scouts with Rich. Good neighbor to Carleen & the rest of us, Sincerely, Beverly (Wescott) Taplin-Lewis

Aunt Helen, Chip, Glenda, Skip, and Sara-- You are all in our thoughts and prayers. I'm so glad that Mom and I came out at the last minute to spend time with Rich a couple of weeks ago. I will cherish the laughs we had with Rich, especially as I was about to shave him!! It isn't easy, but time does make life easier. We send our love always, but even more for tomorrow as you attend Rich's memorial service. May God be with you and help you through this terrible time and with the difficult...

Rich was a very polite and upbeat soul. I always appreciated how he made me feel comfortable as a freshman in high school when he was two years older... he took me under his wing and introduced me to his older classmates. As a distant cousin, he always called me "cuz" as we passed at school. Good memories skipping class and driving to Eureka in his old blue station wagon to buy the new Bad Company album.....Great guy! Will be missed. will say a prayer.

Helen, Chip, Skip & family. I want to express my most sincere condolences & sympathy in this loss of Rich. As a fellow Scouter and friend, I will miss him. We spent a lot of time together in the Scouting Organization in various events. He was always upbeat and helpful to the younger Scouts that he was in contact with. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him, both in the Scouts, sports and the other activities which he was truly involved with.

Helen & family: I'm so sorry for your loss and my thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Rich will be missed by all who knew and loved him.

My prayer go out to all the family I've known Rich for years and have very fond memories of the time he and I had spent together he will be greatly missed Love Marjorie
