I have just now learned of this life. Thankful for a person who could have opted to simply live for himself but didn't.

I have fond and happy memories of the good times that Dick and I had together as children, and I am deeply saddened by this tragedy.

May all take consolation and solace from the reality that his was a productive and beneficial time on early, that his was a life well lived.

My sympathy and my condolences to his family and to all who knew him.

I am very sorry for this sudden and tragic loss to the Rockefeller family. Richard's father has been kind enough to include me as his friend in years past and I cannot imagine his grief at this time... My prayers for Richard, David and all of their family.

Dear Nancy and Rockefeller family - I am profoundly saddened by Richard's passing. I am a fellow CML patient and Richard's guidance and friendship in my early days of diagnosis was a beacon of hope. I and my family will be forever grateful to Richard - who's love and compassion for others will shine on forever. Sending sincerest condolences and prayers to you

Between 1988 and 1997 my husband was caretaker of Richard's estate in Maine. Living in Falmouth, my sons attended good schools, and I was free to give them my full-time attention. Often my husband brought home flowers from Richard's gardens, and when Richard and Nancy were away, we swam in the estate pool. It was a happy time of life for me, and my sons have benefited from their easeful beginning. I remember Richard with fondness. I send my sympathy to Clayton and Rebecca and the Rockefeller family.
