Richard Kiel

His special “Jaws” presence in the 007 movies made them two very unforgettable movie experiences.

I remember you and your wife and Jennifer so fondly! Especially when you would come support Jennifer with her gymnastics. My sister Anita was on Jennifer’s team. We all loved that gym! I took some dance classes with Jennifer too. Your whole family has always been so well loved in our community. Rest well Richard. My prayers are with your family and friends that the Holy Spirit brings them comforting thoughts and memories of you often.

I knew his personally in his later years. I was at his house working on his swimming pool.
He was a very regular and friendly guy. He was nothing like the the Hollywood type. He even had me come inside his house to show me his electronic pool equipment.
He also called me at my home once and asked me if I would come over to help him operate the pool heater I installed in his pool. I was glad to go over and see him again and help him out. He's having a little bit of difficulty getting around due to his age but I was more than happy to help him. He was a swell average guy.
I miss him very much.

I met Richard at a Bob’s Big Boy Restaurant in Torrance , Ca. He was drinking coffee at the counter, I came in for coffee one evening in 1970 and sat next to him and immediately recognized him from his films ,we had a nice chat, nice man ! John

I met him once in 1986. Simply a very wonderful man. Really took time to talk to us kids. He was one of those folks where the world is truly a better place because of him.

Godspeed, Mr. Kiel. Thanks for the many memorable roles. May God bless you and keep you, sir.

RIP Mr Kiel
