Dear Dick and Sharon, So so sorry to read about your son. Barb sent me the clipping via email. These are the times it's hard to be so far away. Maybe we can see each other in August. Love, your cousins Al and Bobbi

Dick, Shar and Sally,
Whenever I think of Richie I get so sad. He was so special and played a very special part in our lives. He was so full of adventure. He surely lived life to the fullest. You can be so proud of him. He accomplished so much!

Our prayers are with you.

Dear Dick and Sharon, and everyone:

We heard late Saturday about this, and I just saw the notice. We are so very sorry for your loss! He had an extraordinary life, it sounds like. A true adventurer.

We hope your pain is eased by the memories of a life well-lived with love and exuberance.

Jan Uebelherr and all the Uebelherrs
