Rich was a great man to work with. I'll remember his smile and his laugh. We shared hunting stories and stories about our children. You could hear his laughter up and down the hallway and it would brighten your day. He always asked about how my family and I were doing. We'll miss him.

I wish to extend my heart felt sympathies to you and your sons. Rich was a truly fine person who loved his family deeply. He was friendly to all and always spoke to me when our paths passed. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.



I didn't realize, until I read in the paper, what we had in common. I also was born in Ohio (Alliance) and I know of your family in Navasota. My inlaws are from around Richards, Tx.



God's peace be with you and your family is my prayer.

As one of the Yonchak girls who grew up with Rich, I have fond memories of hot summer nights playing hide and go seek, cold winter days having snowball fights and countless memories in between! It was fun to see Rich's family grow and I always delighted in the twinkle in Betty and By's eyes as they spoke of Rich's boys! Our deepest sympathy and prayers go out to you at this most difficult time!

Although Rich was several years older than myself I have wonderful memories of a young, handsome, kind, gentleman playing with his dog Pixie in the front yard...Rich will be fondly remembered and missed. God's blessings upon your family during this most difficult time.

It was indeed an honor to have had the privilege of knowing such a good person. I truly believe our Lord bestowed His graces upon Rich, which, in turn, were passed on to his family as well as those who were fortunate to associate with such a caring person. May God put forth His blessings on the Bullock family each and every day, especially in these times.

I am so sorry about Rich's passing. I knew him both thru work and on the soccer field. We were friendly rivals in both arenas as he and I worked for competitors when he was at ADTI and his son Randy and my son Jacob have been locking horns on both the indoor and outdoor soccer fields since they were 9 or 10. Rich was always friendly and upbeat no matter the situation and I admired his professional demeanor and competitive spirit. He will be sorely missed by all that knew him. My deepest sympathies to his wife, kids, and entire family.

I am deeply saddened by the passing of Rich. He was a great friend and co-worker who helped me immensley. As much as I respected him professionally, I respected him more as a family man. Our conversations often turned to soccer as we both had boys playing at the club and high school levels. He will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Gary LaBlue

December 29, 2004

My deepest heart felt sympathy and prayers go out to Rich's Family. I pray that God will assist all of you in your time of grief and with time your hearts will heal. Rich will be so deeply missed by so many he has assisted in the oil industry. I've yet to meet an individual that worked any harder than what Rich did. Rich loved his Family dearly and never a day passed that he didn't mention how his boys were doing in their sports activities. I'll truly miss Rich.

May God Bless All of You,

Gary LaBlue & Family
