Richard David Rose III

I sadly learned of Rich's passing in 2012. We last saw each other when he visited Seattle, Washington in about 2008. We were roommates in the dorms of San Francisco State University for about two years in 1973/74 and I considered him one of my closest friends in life despite our distance after University. I have tried greatly to search for someone he and I knew very well at SF State but have been unable to find that person. If someone would contact me I would greatly appreciate it as I am...

He was a great friend to the students of the California Community Colleges, working to make the system help them succeed. He was a great counseling colleague and a good friend to me. I will miss him.

Richard was a beloved high school classmate - someone everyone was sincerely delighted to see at reunions because of his kindness, good humor, and integrity. My heart goes out to his family. I am so happy to have known him. Rest in peace.

He has passed but will not be forgotten by this classmates at Central Union High School. His name will be placed in our "in memory" section on our classmates of Central web site www.centralfresno.com. If, you wish for his yearbook to be added to the classmates library in his name please contact us.

Gary and I worked with Rich when he was a Counselor at Santa Rosa Junior College. He was an advocate for the students and tirelessly worked to help them achieve their goals. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time.

Dr.Rose led Modesto Junior College by helping us turn a major corner in its accreditation and planning.

May the peace that passes all understanding be and abide with him and his family now and forever.

Dr. Kenneth R. Hart, MJC Director of Research and Planning
