Guest Book

Not sure what to say?

For all of those that visit or choose to write in this guest book: On behalf of our family, I wish to thank you. We loved our father very much and feel so blessed that we had him with us for almost 81 years. He was a great man, fantastic friend and wonderful husband/father. I will miss his joy. Thank you for your kind words. It helps get us through this difficult time of mourning. Mary Carlson

What a truly nice man! I will always remember him fondly with a smile on his face and something good to say. His loss brought back many memories from my childhood of vacations at Lake Chelan, boating on the Columbia & beer of all things.
My thoughts are with Mrs. Rausch, Lisa, Rick, Cici, Mary and Michael as they face this great loss.
I know my dad & mom will miss him dearly. He will be with them always! Take Care

I was so sorry to hear about Mr. Rausch and my thoughts are with you all at this difficult time. I call him Mr. Rausch because that is what I called him nearly 35 years ago when I first met him as a young girl who was friends with Cici. He was a lovely man who you knew was a devoted father and husband. You all take care.

Our deepest sympathy to the extended Rausch family. Our memory of Dick is of a man of extraordinary spirit and generous heart.

Dick was a long time friend of our family - both to my Mother and especially my Father, then to Marietta and myself as well as our children, whenever he ran into them. For over 30 years, Dick always had a funny quip, remembrance, or story to tell.

Besides being a friend, Dick could whip up the best damned Martini this side of the Mississippi!

Keep your olives straight up, partner!

It is with great sorrow that we have to say goodbye to Mr. Rausch. We send our love and deepest sympathy to the family and will always hold him near and dear to our hearts.
We love you,
The Henry Family
Jay, Monica, Jack, Duncan and Lacey

I am a friend of Cici and Rob. I only met Dick a couple times at their house and he was a great guy to talk to. I'm originally from Southern California, but he some great stories about Northern California back in the day. We are really sorry for your loss.

Our deepest sympathy to Rick, Jr., Midge and all family members. We always enjoyed seeing your dad and mom at our member-guest golf tournaments.

I worked with Dick at Blitz Weinhard from 1974 until he retired. I remember Dick as a gentleman and a man who was very proud of his family. I am very sorry for your loss.
