Sharon and Jeremy,
We are so sad and sorry to hear about Rich. I always enjoyed the fun and animated conversations we shared. We seemed to visit alot of the same places for vacations, often one school break apart and Rich was always giving me recommendations for "sublime" places we must not miss. We most enjoyed running into you on the beach in Sanibel last year! I hope your wonderful memories help you through this difficult time and that Rich is now resting in peace. Thinking of all of you.
Hope, Ralph, Olivia, and Hannah Power

We are grieved beyond words for your loss. After 18 years of sharing a back yard fence with you, it is so hard to imagine we will no longer see Richard out on his walks in his big floppy hat or playing another game of street hockey on the driveway. You know we are here for you and you are in our prayers.

I miss my uncle a surprising amount. I spoke at his funeral, wanting to share what a wonderful presence he had been in my life. I will always remember and miss him. He a surprisingly big part of my entire life so far, really, and such a unique guy. Many little things in the world will remind me of him. And as for Sharon and Jeremy... obviously I love you both so much and I feel such incredible sadness for you. I'm here if you ever need anything.

Sharon and Jeremy,
I learned of Rich's passing only recently. I am in shock and in disbelief. I am so sorry for your loss. He is really the only person I had kept in touch with regularly from Penn. What a sweet human being. It's surreal to think of him not being alive. You are all in my prayers and thoughts.

To Sharon and Jeremy, Jill and Dick,
Oh how sad it is to say goodbye to a loved one; we know how awful it feels. But we remember the good times too when Rich and Sharon visited us after coming back from their honeymoon in Hawaii. Most of all we remember the joyfulness at Jeremy's bar mitzvah, especially the happiness expressed by Rich and Sharon.
