Richard Rumsey

This is Dave Feroe an old friend of Rich, I am sorry to hear of his passing. Rich was a good man kind soft spoken and a gentleman it was a pleasure to be around him. Back in the early 80's Rich shared one of his Purple Hearts with John Stein a Viet Nam vet who lost his legs in a friendly fire incident. We had a simple ceremony where Rich handed John his Purple Heart if only on the level we had to make such a judgment. God rest your soul Rich, your Brother Dave

My heart is broken. I have cried many tears but in between those tears have been some smiles because Rums just had that effect on people. He could always make you laugh. I just want to thank you Rich, for your service to our country, for being my Sonny, for all of the silly jokes and stories you told over the years. Thank you for making my life that much better and thank you for being my friend. I love you Rums, until we meet again...
With everlasting love and gratitude, Candee
