I knew Rich from the old SFPD days. He was a good man, a good cop, who did his job very well. I am so sorry to see him go. Rest in peace my friend.

MaryAnn and family,
We just opened the POA journal newspaper and read of Rich's passing. We are deeply saddened to hear the news. Mike always thought of Rich as a brother. He loved working with Rich while at SFPD and to this day continues to share stories of their law enforcement adventures. We cherish the time we spent together while you were in SF.
With love,
Michael & Julie Becker

Mary Ann, Dawnelle, Family: Ricky was one of a kind for sure! What an awesome all around. I remember him taking me and my brother on many adventures as kids when we would visit San Francisco. He was always fun and funny and loved us to pieces. In adulthood he and the family hosted (and fed!) an entire class of my college students as we would go through Clarksville. A better man I have yet to meet. We're so sad for our family's loss, but glad that he is at rest. -- Love to the rest of the family and many friends. We'll be thinking great thoughts of this great man...

Dear Dawnelle,
Although I did not know your brother Richard, I did know how much you loved and cared for him. You are an inspiration to everyone knowing how thoughtful you were each day. My deepest sympathy.

Dear Mary Ann, we are profoundly sorry that Rickie passed. He is now in better place and not suffering. Have fond memories after Richard and Louise moved to Napa and Rickie would stop to have tea with me on his break. Will always cherish the phone call to me from the hospital and we have a nice long chat. It will take time but you will be at peace with your loss. Mary Ng
