Richard Leon Erickson

So today is Richards Birthday and I was going to wish Richard Happy Birthday when I found out that he passed. I was a missionary with Richard and have always appreciated the great times we had together. My cell is (801) 368-1372. Love Richard

I only had a year working with Richard at Gold Leaf Press but he made me feel good when he'd take a moment to stop and chat. I have such fond memories of him and his Christ-like love for others.

I was privileged to have Richard as my Art Director for my first design job at Aspen Books. His guidance and example have defined my career. I consider him my design mentor. He was a great designer, a great coworker, and a great friend.

Stunned & saddened by this very distressing news. Condolences to the entire family.

Richard was always such a genuinely good person. I first got to know him in Jr High and watched him overcome some tough things with grace and good humor. I have only fond memories of this wonderful man.
