Deepest sympathy for your loss.

Rip was good coworker and friend. He was the first HVAC mechanic I worked with when I started at Fort Lee. I know that Hardwood Lowe and you will be laughing in heaven at all the stories that we did at work. He loved his family and being outdoors. God Bless!

Richard, you were one of a kind. No matter how your day was going, you always were friendly and had a smile on your face. Enjoyed seeing you and Stef in the warehouse eating lunch together. I for one will miss you tremendously. Now, happy times are ahead.

My husband, Joe, would want Richard's family to know how much he valued his life-long friendship with his cousin. I have heard many stories over the years about the time they spent together as children and I know that Joe felt close to him always. Richard was a good man and I am so sorry he is gone.

I'm so Sorry for Your Loss. Richard was a Good Man. May He Fly with the Angels, and May God Wrap His Loving Arms around His Loved Ones!
