Kristy, Aunt Betty, Kelly and family-
I am so sorry to hear about Rich's passing. He couldn't have been a sweeter person. Since moving out west, I only ran into Rich at family weddings/reunions over the past few years. He always wanted to sit down and hear everything that was going on in my life and how I was doing. He was a truly genuine person and will be missed by many- Thinking of you all, Jennifer Jenkins Gladish

I knew Rich many years ago through working at DeArini's Villa. He was a great guy, always in good humor and quick with a joke. I don't think I ever saw him get angry or even seem like he was in a bad mood. I was very sorry to hear of his passing. He and his family will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Ron and I have been members of Indianola Church of Christ for over 40 years and have fond memories of the Rowland family. Such a beautiful family!! Little by little, as you grieve for Rich, you will begin to remember not just that he died but that he lived. You all are in our prayers. Ron and Pat Turner

Kristy,

You all have been in my prayers since learning of Rich's illness. Praise God that his pain and suffering are healed. For you and your family, healing will come through the love and memories you share.

My memories of Rich center around Emmaus and the kitchen and especially pizza night! He made everyone of those pizzas with skill and love. We teased him alot, but he took it well! We loved him(and you of course).

God's peace be with you,
Barb Davis

Those we hold most dear never truly leave us ... they live on in the kindnesses they showed, the comfort they shared and the love they brought into our lives.

I have many fond memories of Rich when we were classmates at Dublin High School. Rich was fun-loving but always such a gentleman. Your family is in my heart and prayers.
