Dear Tricia and family,

My condolences on the passing of Richard. I had the pleasure of meeting him at our 50th reunion and enjoyed his sparkling personality. Know that you are in my thoughts as you go through this difficult time.

Received your phone call & was touched that you shared this sad news with me. I remember Richard very fondly from my college days. He was a true, caring guy! A gentleman. When Facebook gave me the opportunity to get glimpses into his life many years later, I smiled. He had a wonderful family surrounding him. You could see the tenderness shared between you two! May you always carry wonderful memories of your life together as your tears fade. He will always be remembered by me in a special way. Again, strength and wonderful memories for you and your family.
