Richard,
You always treated me like family. I loved running into you around town because you showed so much love and excitement every time. I feel grateful to have known you for so many years. You are so incredibly missed.

Richard - I am still in shock over your passing. I will miss our conversations at Starbucks. You were always a pleasure to talk to you, as well as listen to. There were times that I even Postpone my plans for the day so I could keep talking to you. No youre up there with all of your sports heroes and musical legends. Rest in peace my friend! I am very glad I met you and your family.

Richard,
You have given me the privilege to some of the greatest sights and memories when I lived in Oregon. You treated me like family, and I will always be grateful to have had the pleasure of knowing such a generous person. You led an amazing life, and I'm sure many would agree. I will celebrate your life and your memory and cherish the times we had together. Thank you, kind sir.
With the highest respect,
Jaryd D.

I met Richard and Maimuna after Samira and my son, Alex, started dating in 2015. I was invited to their house for dinner, and besides enjoying the delicious meal that Maimuna prepared, I so enjoyed the lively conversation around the table on a variety of topics. It was so beautiful to see the interaction of this loving family. The liveliness came from everyone having different ideas and opinions about everything. It was obviously a home where thoughts and feelings were expressed freely and respected.
Richard was so proud of Maimuna, Samira and Naima, and he took pride in Alex too. Richard was not afraid to express his love loudly for his family and many friends. I am thankful I got to know him over the past 4-5 years. May he rest in peace.

Richard and I met in 1979 at Pasadena City College in Nursing school. We went on to work together in the CCU fir many years. We were friends outside of work as well, camping and hiking and going to sporting events. After Richard moved to Eugene we continued our friendship with both being huge Oregon Duck fans. I knew his beautiful wife and witnessed his wonderful daughters grow up into being beautiful caring women like their parents. Richard will be missed deeply.

He always made me feel included. He was interested in what you were up to and a good listener. He was also very passionate about politics and sports always speaking his mind. He really loved his family and was so proud of his girls. I'm sure he is looking down from heaven and thinking, "Those are my loves."

Richard Lobby,
I unfortunately never had the pleasure of meeting you, but I have been friends with your daughters, Samira and Naima, since High School. I know how amazing they both are which tells me what a wonderful person and father you must be. Your love, strength, and joy for life will live on in their souls and the community you've helped them build.

Richard, I never met you, but became fb friends via my Trojan friends. I loved your passionate support for your family, country and Ducks. I will deeply miss your posts about these subjects and your appreciation for the world around you.
I grieve with your family and friends, as you made a positive impact on even those who didnt meet you in person.
Fight On Forever, my friend.

I met Richard during my time at McKenzie-Willamette. I was pregnant with a high risk pregnancy during the H1N1 outbreak that was particularly risky for pregnant women. He always took the time to check on me and ask how things were going. After my son was born, he would ask for picture and want to hear those stories all new parents love to tell. He told my about when he had his babies, wearing them in a carrier and walking around town with his chest out puffed out because he was so proud and wanted everyone to see his beautiful baby. Ill never forget him. We certainly didnt see eye to eye on many things. But we always could talk about those things calmly and with respect. Such good lunch room conversations.

Richard,
Thank you for always saying hi when we saw each other even at odd places like a road football game. I will miss you smile and talking duck sports with you. I will cheer our ducks on for you when I'm watching here, and I know you will be cheering them on from heaven.
GO DOCKS
hugs,

Ive known Richard for almost 20 years. He was my best friends dad and had been so active in our lives. Id go to her house and hed be there, and would ALWAYS have a story to tell. I remember one time where he told us to get in the car, were going on an adventure. We drove to mt hoodoo, we spend like maybe 5 minutes there and both me and her were like ugh what are we doing here? But we had an awesome time. During the drive, the 5 minutes we spent there, we had a great time. Just listening to his stories and playing our music. He always had something to say. He went to the same gym as me, years later, and I remember taking out my earbuds to talk to him. He would always tell me about my best friend(his daughter) and what she was doing. He went on about both of his daughters, almost to a fault. But I loved hearing about them. I loved hearing the way he talked about them. He loved his family so much. He loved his friends. He really, really loved the people in his life. He will be missed so much. I will miss him so much. He was family to me. I grew up with him in my life, and I dont know how well go on without his presence

Oh Richard. What a complex guy. He loved his family so much. But for stories. I worked on the medical floor and asked him to come from ICU to start and IV on a hard patient. She was very cute and confused. She asked him dad, when are we going to town? And this lovely man says, when you get your chores done. Lol. She was so well behaved after that. Nurses are like Marines. Once a nurse, always a nurse. For some of us, its not really a choice but a calling. Richard taught a lot of people how to be a real nurse. He was amazing and I feel very blessed to have been a part of his work. But he also got on me a lot about how I approached things. He told me that I needed to demand more respect. Being a young charge nurse had a lot of conflict. He always stuck up for me and showed me that my gut, is the best thing to listen too. Thank you Richard for being a part of my crazy nurse life, you are and always will be a part of my nurse heart. Love to you and that amazing family. They dont know me, but I know them. Because that is what you always talked about, having family. Rest In Peace my lovely friend ❤

I met Richard at McKenzie Williamette hospital when I first began in the medical field and right before he retired. No matter who you were he treated you with the same respect, the same smile and warmth. I will always remember that and I try to emulate that today.
After moving away for school we casually kept in touch on FB. I think it meant a lot when we were able to meet up at a tailgate during the Civil War. It meant a lot to me that he made time for me. I consider him a friend and I wish his family the best during this time. If you had the chance to meet him for 5 minutes you knew his family was everything to him.
