Richard L. Smith

Jackie, Carrie, Laurel & Brad -
I'm so very sorry for your loss...
Rick holds a very special place in my heart for the hours he spent laughing at my household demolition projects even while he pitched right in and helped me fix them, for the games of ring around the rosie with Caitlin, for his laughter and sense of fun. I feel honored to have counted him among my friends.
All my love...Teresa

Dear Jackie, and family-
Words can not describe Uncle Rick. He was an amazing man. I will cherish all the memories we had together whether it was him coming over and watching the games or the north carolina trip many years ago. Rick's presence in my life growing up was very important to me. I am very thankful for the friendship he gave my father. My dad would not be the same if it wasnt for Rick. Also little Hank loved that man more than anything! Like Hank says Uncle Rick is watching over all of us in heaven and playing golf. :) My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Rick will truly be missed. Love to all of you and God bless.

Jackie, Laurel and family

Jackie and Family,

I am so sorry to hear about Rick. My thoughts are with all of you now and in the days to come. Please let me know if there is anything that you need.

Peace,

I am so very sorry for your loss. We love you very much and will keep you and your family in our prayers. He will be missed.

Dear Smith Family,
I attended college with Rick in Maryville, MO. He had many, many friends and, although I lost track of him long ago, I've often wondered where he settled and what became of him. I'm sure he was as wonderful a family man as he was a friend. You're in my thoughts and prayers.

Jackie,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. You and Rick are very fortunate to have had so many wonderful years together. Take care of yourself.

Carrie and Jimmy - Please know that we hold you and your family in our hearts and prayers each day and we are thinking of you all. Hugs are on the way! Jennifer, John, Maggie, John, Tim, Max and Abbey

Dear Jackie, Carrie, Laurel, and Brad,

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your kids. Rick was a good man and will be missed dearly.

Dear Jackie and family,

I was raised in Melcher Iowa and had the pleasure of going to school with Rick. Our class was only 42 but we all became close friends for life. I will always cherish all of those memories of Rick when we were kids. Our prayers are with all of you at this time. Rick was a great guy and friend.

Dear Carrie and the Smith family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Your father will never be lost to you as the wonderful memories of him will be with you forever. May God Bless each and every one of you.
Love, Mary Trumbauer

Dear Laurel, Jeff, Haley & Olivia,
