Dear Rinda and Family, I am so sorry for your loss. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers. I know that your family is every thing to you. Keep each other near and dear, always remember the good times you had with your dear Rich.

I enjoyed the stories and laughs we used to have when you worked at Woodmen that you would tell about your husband and family.

Take care. Janice Mason

Rinda, Rhonda and Rod,

I was saddened to hear about Richard. He was a very good friend those years we were neighbors and better neighbors we could not have had. I always admired Richard for his loyalty and friendship. He was just an all 'round great guy. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Rinda, Rhonda, and Rodney,

I'm so very sorry for your loss. Richard was such a great friend for so many years. I'll never forget when I entered him in the lawn contest, before telling him. He should have won it, hands down, and the competition knew it. A more perfect lawn did NOT exist, in all of Council Bluffs. He was one of the hardest working men I ever knew, and I learned so very much from him. We will all miss him so very much. God Bless you all.
