Richard Vian

To Richard's Family & Friends,
We send our sincere condolences as you face this sad time of loss, and pray that your hearts will harken to the gentle voice of the Lord, Jesus Christ, as He speaks His blessings of comfort and peace into your lives.

My deepest sympathy to Dick's family and especially Diane Walker and family. Dick and I go back to grade school at the Franklin School. We were classmates, friends and true "West Sider's". You will not be forgotten.

To the family, Diane and many friends of Richard, I share your sorrow. My memories are many, of friendship and loyalty as a fellow guardsman from the beginning and hunting on the treacherous Gardner "Firing Line". Tramping the ramp on Gore Hill to keep the airplanes flying and on my last visit, a lesson in Fly tying and snell hooks for my tackle box. Richard will be missed by all who knew him.

So sorry to see the passing of a fellow co-worker. I had a lot of fun with the 'old man'.

Dick was a good friend for many years some thru the Guard but moreso thru the ROMEO club which met on Tuesday mornings at the Prospector. He had a good sense of humor and was just a straight laced old fashioned friend. He will be missed.

Grandma, Penny, Roberta, Cliff and Ed. I am deeply and truly sorry for your loss. I hope with time, you will remember more and more of all of the happy moments spent with Uncle Dick.

Celebrating a life well lived. We will cherish the memories forever.

Dick was one of my first supervisors in the Flightline at the Montana Air National Guard. He was a great leader, mentor and friend. He could be the most stubborn and cantankous man I have ever met, but at the same time offer you a smile and a hearty laugh. I will miss seeing Diane and him together.

We are so sorry to hear about the loss of "Uncle Dick". We wish we could be at home with you. You are always in our thoughts and prayers. Love and miss you all.
