I flew with Dick several times at T.W.A. He was a pleasure to fly with, and a real gentleman!!! R.I.P. Bob Dunham

I am truly sorry to hear of Richard falling asleep in death. May he sleep peacefully until Jesus calls him to be resurrected and to rejoin family and friends (Jo 3:16). Please accept my condolences. Andrew

My cousin Richard was a very impressive man. I can remember, as a child, him telling us stories of his adventures. My condolences to his family.

A kind, smart ,& interesting man he was.....
I miss going into Star Coins & seeing him sitting there. Seems like yesterday. Always had a joke or a great story to tell.
Rest in peace my friend....

Thoughts to Bev and the boys, and all of the Lonski family. He was an interesting man with many stories! I was always glad whenever he would have a layover in Seattle (in the 70's and 80's) and wanted to see some of the relatives. When I was just a kid - maybe 6 or 7 - we went to watch him take off in a fighter jet and after take off, it seemed like he went straight up! I know you will all miss him...
