Richard F. STOLZ Jr.

With deepest sympathy to the family during your time of sorrow. Psalms 46:1 says: God is for us a refuge and strength during this difficult time and may God grant you the comfort to endure.

Thank you for your service to our Nation

I was very saddened to read about Dick Stolz's passing. My late husband and I were fortunate enough to have worked with Dick at the agency in the 60s. At one time, he was my boss, and a fine one he was. As one of the obits said, he was one of the good guys. He truly was. He really cared about the people he worked with. For reasons that I am sure you will understand, I have not signed with my real name, as my husband and I worked under deep cover throughout our agency career. The secrecy only...

Eileen and I will sorely miss Dick. While his professional life was both impressive and impecable, he was a man of highest integrity and a gentleman of the first order. He was always ready to share his experiences with students and make presentations that lent a greater understanding of our world. He will be missed by many.

Richard and Sally, So sad to hear of your Dad's passing. We are thinking of you and wishing you peace and wonderful memories. Although we never knew your father Richard, reading about him and learning about his service to this country, we say "thank you" to him and your Mom. You may be sad but you should be very proud too.

My sincerest condolances to Richard's family. One Great Guy "my hero" who will be surely missed.

Mr Stolz was my husband's cousin and loved by all the family. We will miss him.

Richard Stolz was a dignified person, a real Honorable Man not only for his countrymen.

He had a lot of friends in many countries around the world.

He was on close, friendly relations with two Bulgarian Presidents, Prime Ministers, foreign ministers and countless number of colleagues and ordinary Bulgarians. He was a real friend of Bulgaria and we mourn his death and bow down our heads in his memory.

He passed away to take his place in the eternal Guard of the World's...

Dick and Betty were young parents with my Betty and me in Sofia more than fifty years ago. Dick's example from those early years stayed with me throughout my Foreign Service career as the epitome of integrity and excellence in a CIA officer, and his subsequent service to our country makes me proud to have known him. My heart goes out to Betty and their children.
