Rich and Kath had a VW bug. When they turned a corner, Rich would put his arm out the driver´s side window and Kath the passenger´s like wings. Loved it.

Rich and Kathy were great to me all through high school. They hired me to babysit, paid me to help clean, and some days just let me hang out and play around with the player piano. I hadn't seen them in many, many years, but I have good memories of the time I spent at their house. I was so, so sorry to hear of their passing.

I met Kathy while in high school (mid 1970's), I was a helper for the summer school program one summer and Kathy became like a mentor to me. I helped her in her classroom during my high school years. Often 2 of my friends (Terry and Jim) and I would stop by her house to visit, she always welcomed us. Kathy and Rich even lent their Corvette to Jim and I for our senior prom. That was very special :) Carrie, I only met you when you were an infant but I know that your Mom loved you very dearly. My heart is very heavy for the loss of Kathy and Rich.

My warmest sympathies to the family and friends. Losing a loved one is one of the hardest things to go through. No doubt your memories will help you through. Know that God is always there for you no matter what. (2 Cor. 1:3-5).

We will remember you in our thought and prayers. Thank you Rich for your help and guidance when we were working together. You will be missed. Stan & Bernadette Lukasik

Carrie, and family. It would be impossible to reflect back on my life without remembering all the times we spent together: Rich's and my first meeting when we instantly became friends, double dating as teens, to Rich becoming part of our family (our fourth brother), a son to my parents, traveling together, and even your mother's incessant efforts to try and set me up with her friends. They were both loyal friends for over 50 years. Its also incomprehensible to imagine what life would have been like without that experience. I am today, what I am, partly because they were in my life. There's a Zen saying: "when your here, live your life so that no one notices; and when you gone, the whole world weeps." I think they both lived that exceptionally well. They've left a hole in the universe, and it's a much, much sadder place. Deepest sympathies and love to all.

Richie and Kathy lived life to the fullest.
While we are mourning their loss, we take comfort in knowing that they left this world together while doing one of the many things they were passionate about.
Carrie, your parents are so proud of you!.
We will always remember Richie and Kathy with fond memories and smiles...
Love to the family,
Mark and Lynda Walker

Thoughts and Prayers go out to the family of Kathy and Richard. Kathy I knew when I was a little girl where she was a teacher . She was kind and cared about others. She asked about my family and soon became a special friend to my family even in my son's life at St. Aloysius Regional School. We are all saddened by the loss of such free , kind, gentle souls. They showed many people the true meaning of those words which we all should remember to live by ! Peace to Carrie. XOXO We shall all meet again

My deepest sympathy to Kathy and her husbands family's. Kathy was a class mate and friend. I'm so glad I got to reconnect with her at our reunion. May they RIP

September 29, 2016

We are so very sorry for your loss. They were always so nice and friendly when we saw them. The last time we saw them was at Mamossers on wing night. They were with a group of friends having a wonderful time. It was so so good to see them. Of course now we will cherish that memory. All our thoughts and prayers. Love Paul & Kathy Callahan

Rest In Peace Rich and Kathleen! May they now be soaring with the Angels into the arms of our Lord. It's fitting that they left this life together. I worked with Rich at Arcata Graphics...one of the "nice guys". My thoughts and prayers are with their daughter and other family members. May God be with you in your time of grief.

I was deeply saddened to hear of the loss of Rich and Kathy. Although we had lost touch over these many years, many great memories remain- from our earlier years living on Ellen Dr. to High school years with Kathy. One of my fondest memories is when both Rich and Kathy helped me paint my funky bedroom!! All the Kroldart family send our thoughts and prayers your way!

My sincerest condolences to the family and friends of the Walkers! Although I never had Mrs. Walker as my teacher I do remember her being a very friendly, caring and giving person. The kind of person that always said hello to you in the hall, even though her height was very intimidating to a 5yr old, she never came across that way. Although I haven't spoken to her in many, many years I know she will be missed by everyone that knew her. The Walkers and their family are in my prayers.

But I wanted you to know my thoughts are with you! I hope you can feel the love that surrounds you...and I hope it gives you the strength and support to get you through this tragedy! Peace and love to you!!!
