Not sure what to say?

I feel very privileged to have known Mr. Standrich. I spent many nights at their house spending the night with Terry. I got very close to this family. And love each and everyone of them. Being the strong energetic man that he was this will be a great loss to this family. I am so saddened by the loss. He is up in heaven planning or building something!! After the funeral my husband and I walked through Derby and I showed my husband all the houses he built. It was amazing to see all of...

Vanatta, many prayers for you and your family at this time. I truly enjoyed getting to know Rich and your family; He was a very, very kind and patient man. It was an honoring to care for him.
Hebrews 4:16, "Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need."

My heart is saddened to hear of Rich's passing. Seeing him ALWAYS put a smile on my face and I will miss hearing him say, "Hey Preacher! If you were only Lutheran, I'd probably visit your church."

He was such an honest and honorable man. I always considered him my mayor and would often call him "The Honorable Richard Standrich," because the title fit him perfectly!!!

DiAnn and I send our love to the family and regrets that we were not able to attend the service to show...

Mrs. Standrich,
Wanted to express my appreciation for your husband. He built a home for my family in the late 80's. He was such a wonderful and patient man. So very helpful with the whole process of home building. Such a man of integrity. It was such a wonderful experience. He will be my measure if I ever build another home.
My deepest sympathy for your loss.

God bless you and your family.
