Missy, we were so very sorry to learn of Rick’s untimely death. We know you were married happily for many years. I worked for your mom at Stix-Crestwood, Drugs and Notions, in the early 70’s and remember her sharing your wedding plans with our staff. It seems like a lifetime ago, and I guess it was. We have fond memories of seeing Rick at the kids’ practices and games,
always in his khaki pants and white tee shirt. He was so talented in remodeling your home. We know you will be...

"Uncle Richie!" I joined Boeing in 2005 and his was the first team I was assigned to. We had some memorable trips and conversations! Sincere condolences to the family...very sad to hear of Rich's passing.

Good bye Rich, you will surely be missed. You were a great co-worker and friend while working together at the Boeing Company. I appreciate your dedication.

We are so sad to learn of the passing of Mr. Wilhelm. Such a kind and generous man. Never batted an eye at the countless dinners or evenings that my brother and/or I would crash and many of my best memories growing up involve the Wilhelm Family. The McGuires send love and prayers your way.
