Richard E. Smith Jr.

Remembering you Robyn

As a wife, and a mother of a son Tyler's age, I can imagine the pain you're going through...... I pray that you and your family have all the strength to face everyday you must wake up to, and continue to love, knowing the memories of these 2 beloved men will never be taken away from you, and that you will not only cry because of the loss of them, but you will smile because you were blessed with them once in your life.

Laurie,I can not begin to imagine what a terrible time this is for you and your family.The only comfort that I can say is that someday God will reunite you with Richard and Tyler again.

I can't express enough for the pain you are feeling. I work four buildings down where this took place. I would like to say that this horrific tragedy no one would have ever expected for this to happen in our home town. Iam deeply sorry for your loss and the pain you are feeling. There is a song by; Andrea Day that I would like you to look up and look for the lyrics because we all will rise up as one and fight for a stronger Kalamazoo as one community together. God bless you and your family...

Words can't express how sad this tragic event is and the many thoughts and prayers for Rich and Tyler. Wanted to express my sincere condolences to your family. I worked with Rich and he was a pleasure to be around and I enjoyed working with him. Rich was always smiling and happy. God is with you and your family during this time and anytime you call upon him.

Words can not express my deepest sympathy for your Family for the loss of Rich and Tyler. Rich had a true heart of gold as big as his smile and laugh. He had the best outlook on life. I am blessed to have known him. Tyler sounds like he was very much like his Father with his love of motor sports, sports, Family and Friends. May you all find comfort in the loving memories you have forever.

So very sorry for your loss Laurie, words cannot truly express! I know you and Rich through the Fullers. May God comfort you these awful times.

I and my husband Roy watched J.R. grow up with his family. We all rode the sand dunes and spent lots of good times together. All of the memories we have of J.R. and his family are happy and good. Know that our love and prayers are with your family forever.
