Dr. Rev. Richard A. Rasi

It´s been 21 years, although it seems like yesterday that you left us - far too early. You will always remain in my heart. Thanks for your graciousness for bringing me into your private practice back in 1993. Jeb, I hope you are doing well these many years later. Mark D. Strickland, Palm Springs, CA

My sincere sympathies to Richard Rasi's family and friends. Because his life was such a gift, his passing is felt as a great loss.

God bless us all.

Our dear friend,
We miss your spirit and support that you have given us these past few years. Our fondest memory was the prayer support that you shared when we were facing our own health challenge. Your faith and inspiration lives on in us and in the lives of the others that you have touched.
Deepest sympathy to Jeb and Rich's family.....

The Leather Forum of San Francisco observed a moment of silent prayer in Rich's honor after I told them what a sincere, profound and deeply motivating force was this person the Defenders had lost. The Defender chapter in Heaven has gained another angel who will be there to welcome us when our time comes.

My prayers go out to Jeb and all of Rich's loved ones at this difficult time.

Mrs. Rasi, Glorie, George, Ann Marie,Jeb and family
