Richard Paul Gerth

My thoughts and sympathys goes out to his friends and family I had meet him once when my family visited Disney World 9 years ago he was the nicest and a sweetest guy you would ever meet. The Grand Floridian will not be the same without you. Say Hi to Walt for us. RIP Richard Gerth

Richard will always be apart of the most special day of my life- my wedding at Disney. During our morning pictures he was helping me with my dress. He pulled my husband aside, whispered in his ear - I can tell you are going to be so happy. We never forget the power of love that so strongly shown through this man. Disney Magic at its finest

We are going to miss you so much Richard. The Grand just won't be the same without your smile and love.

I will never forget you and your kindness every time I saw you at the Grand. I will miss your smiling face. Rest In Peace Richard and hope youre hanging out with Walt!

We will Miss you Richard

Several times a year my mother and I would go to Walt Disney World. Most of our visits we stayed at the Grand Flordian, we always would stop by to see Richard. His smile and warmth always made us feel special. We talk many times about the old days and family. It was just a pleasure to talk with him. The last time we got to see Richard when we were leaving my mom and I and My sister in law yelled as loud as we could, "Bye Richard" he turned and smile and waved. Yes, Richard we are all saying Bye Richard, and most of all thank you for your smile and kindess. R.I.P, Richard Gerth, you will be missed at the Grand Flordian.

I worked with Richard outside of the Grand for many years. I miss our conversations. He was a gentle and humble man. He never wanted the I attention on just himself. was kind and often brought treats to share with the cast. Richard will be greatly missed. St. Peter will have some competition. God bless.

I am so sorry for the loss of this wonderful man!!! May he soar high and have the time of his life

I knew Richard in his later years at the Grand Floridian Disney resort. His warm hugs and gentle smile were the best greeting. He was a wonderful and kind man with only positive and loving words to say. He made everyones day better just by being there. He will truly be missed by many. Rest in the peaceful arms of the Lord and enjoy eternity with your own bride who has been patiently waiting.
