I met Richard 25 years ago, but haven't seen him for several years, since moving away. Our mutual friends notified me of his accident, but news of his death was quite a shock. My thoughts are with the family, Richard was a great guy and I have many great memories of him, as I am sure do all thoses lives he touched, even for a short time.

Dearest David:

I met Richard maybe twice but I don't think I could ever forget what an impression he made on both occasions. I'm sure you know how many lives he touched and what a great guy he was. I am truly sorry for your loss. May god be with you and your family at this time.

Although I did not know Richard well, I do know his brother David. My heart aches for you David, I cannot imagine what you are going through. And your mother too, I cant fathom why children go before their parents. I know you are surrounded by people that love you though, (Randy, Kim, Dave, your family, Richards children) and I pray for all of you everyday! Kims cousin, Melissa

To the family of Richard Holobaugh, my deepest sympathy. Richard and I grew up together and shared many fond memories; having our grade school crushes, being "boyfriend/girlfriend" during our early years in elementary school and beyond. He was a great guy and though we lost touch over the years, his passing saddens me. I will continue to keep your family in my thoughts/prayers during this difficult time. I'm sorry for your loss.
