Richard A. Strutz

RIP Rich my condolences to everyone that knew Mr Rich.

My memories of my very close friend…..

I was introduced to Rich by a mutual friend Larry Rautio, they played Hockey together, Rich needed a room mate, I need a place to live, 1986 I think. I knew we would be good friends when after moving in both our TV’s had only 3 channels programmed, ESPN, ESPN2, and Sportschannel. Rich’s passion was Hockey, this was never more obvious when everyday when I got home he had the video tape of a past Stanley Cup Finals game on the TV….Edmonton...

I have known Rich for the past 15 years and we stayed in touch mostly by phone usually talking about the stock market at least a few times a month, I will miss talking to Rich on what we thought the market would do, so we could play the QQQQ's and be "laughing", a word that Rich used often. I will miss ya buddy and I am sure you are in a better place.

Rich and I met and became friends at West Vally college and graduated SJSU together with the same degree. We've remained friends and found a way to get together every couple of months for the last few years. We always had a great time together with a lot of laughs and I am missing him already. Rich - when the band takes the stage at #1 Broadway in a couple of weeks, we will sing Stray Cat Strut in your honor. Rest well, my friend.

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum...

Words don't do justice. Rich, we all miss you!

My condolences and sympathy to Rich's family and friends. He left us much too soon.

I'll always remember our hockey trip to Chicago with a smile on my face. Rich was kind enough to secure great seats for our group at the old stadium. We had a blast.

I share in your grief and send my love.

I worked with Rich at Sun Microsystems and most recently Xilinx. I knew Rich for over 10 years. I'm so happy I got to know him. He would always put a smile on my face and make me laugh. He touched so many people in his life and I will miss him. Before he passed, we had a conversation about our days at Sun in Milpitas, remembering all of our friends and how much fun we all had. We were all like one big family. Through all this he has brought a lot of us back together again. We cry, we laugh in...
