He was a truly nice guy - loved his sense of humor. Didn't get to visit very often but when we did it was a real pleasure. He will be missed by many and remembered by all. RIP Dick

Rich and I shared many great times starting in the 1950s.
We reconnected in the 1970s again with model airplanes! We had families by then! He became my trusted auto mechanic!
I'm saddened by his demise.
Ursula and I offer our sincere condolences to Ruth, Kathleen and John.
Memories of the good times may ease the pain.

Rich was a good friend and good flying buddy. Always ready to help anyone in need. Always had good things to say about and to others. He will be missed every Saturday morning with good flying weather.
