Richard Rose

We were roommates at U C Davis and backpacking partners all over the mountains of California. I did the Sierra Club cleanup trips with him in the Warner Mountains. We camped all over. This is a total shock, I went to his wedding. I worked for his father as a surveyor. I was a pallbearer at his cousin's funeral.

My heart hurts to hear of Rich's passing. I became friends with Rich when he married my good high school friend Barb. When I was still living in California, Rich and I drove together from Sacramento to Grand Junction in my little beat up Toyota. I always laugh when I remember how it broke down in the middle of the night near Tonopah, Nv. Rich looked at me and asked where the flashlight was. I told him I didn't have one and he quietly said, "Got any matches?" I handed him a roll of paper...

So sorry to hear of Rich's passing. There were four of us (Rich, Andy, Barb & me) who met and became dear friends while working at UCDPD during our college years. I will carry the love and memories of them all for the rest of my days.

I'm very sorry to hear about your loss. It was very sad to hear. Mr. Rose worked next door to us in the Environment Department for many years. Richard was very kind person. SaraLouise Martinez

Dr Rose taught me a lot about leadership and taking charge. He promoted me into management seeing something in me that I couldn't see myself. After he had a stroke he had a hard time taking so we would share emails. I'll always keep that Big Bird he left on my desk. It kind of reminded me of him. He was a smart man and I'll miss him. Rest in peace Dr. Rose

Richard was my boss for a few years at the environment department and he was always very kind to me. My heartfelt condolences and prayers go out to the family. He will be missed.

I am very sorry for your loss. I was saddened to hear about Richard's passing. I worked with Richard for many years at the New Mexico Environment Department. He spoke fondly of his family. May he rest in peace.
