Mary Lou and Family,

I am sorry for your loss. It was such a joy to know Rich -- a special Man, devoted to Family, a man who served his Country, was hard working, a man who possessed an inspirational quality about him (was a mentor to me), and yet a Man who was so much fun to talk to. Rich was my best 20th Street Buddy, bar none -- and I will miss him greatly!!!

Rest in Peace "Good Buddy" and smile down upon me as I aspire to do good things. Thanks for all your help! And I hope you can put in a good word for me your first opportunity, OK?

Your Neighbor, Nick

While I only knew Rich and his family as neighbors for a little over a year, he was one of the nicest guys I met. Very friendly and I enjoyed the conversations I had with him as well as Marylou. I am grateful I had the chance to see him in the hospital. Our prayers are with Marylou and her family & I just know Rich is playing that guitar in a better place now.

While I only knew this family for a little over a year as neighbors, Rich was one of the nicest guys I ever met and I've enjoyed all the conversations I had with him and Marylou. I'm thankful I had the opportunity to see him in the hospital.
Our prayers are with your family and I know he's playing that guitar in a better place now.

Sincere sympathy to Marylou and all the family. I will miss our phone calls. I will miss the most your Happy Birthday wishes you always left of my phone as I was always in Vegas then. You always remembered and I will always remember you. All my love, your favorite sister.

Dear Marylou and family,

We are so sorry for your loss. Richard will be dearly missed. He was a good man and a great neighbor. I will miss his dry sense of humor and our conversations on the porch. May God be with you all at this time, and may He place His healing hands upon your heavy hearts and give you peace in the coming days. We are praying that your hurt and loss will lesson over time and be replaced with wonderful memories until you are all together once again. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. God bless.

Love,
Larry and Bonnie
