The greatest man in my life has moved on. I want to have faith that he is in heaven - no more pain, no more suffering and reunited with with all of the family and friends that went before him. Since the moment he entered my life at 6 years old we were immediately connected. This man filled my world with so much. His generosity, love, laughter, adventure, intelligence, creativity, and drive to keep going through the obstacles of life are treasured gifts that can never be taken away from me. Thank you for being a true father to me, thank you for all you have taught me and done for me. I will treasure you always and miss you always until we are together again. Love you my papa.

Mrs. Ravalli and Family,
I want you to know how shocked and saddened I was to hear of "Doc's" passing. He was like a father to me. I will always remember with fondness his smile, his laughter and sense of humor, and his generous spirit. I know that he is with my Father in heaven. I look forward to seeing him again someday.
I am currently living in Arkansas and would love to speak with any interested family members. My cell phone: 479-886-8077. My love to each of you always,Brian Hendrickson

Richard, We will always cherish you in our hearts, thoughts, and prayers. We wish we could have spent more time together, but distance did not help in this endeavor. All our love, Theresa and Frank. (Your sister and brother)
