Rich and I were Peace Corps volunteers in Lawas, Sarawak, Malasia in 1967-1968. We had a wonderful time at the Lawas School where we taught school to the first class of Lun Bawang students from the interior of Borneo as well as Malays and Chinese students. We were also on the local basketball team and won games against teams from much larger towns. He was a great guy.

Rich was an iconic educator, and a big advocate for foreign students. He was fearless and very good at speaking "truth to power" - He helped mentor me as a young business school dean at Whitworth. I miss him. - Dr. Kyle Usrey

Rich was a truly outstanding and accomplished guy, and I, along with many others, will greatly miss him!
Rich and I met one another at the University of Washington in 1961, joined the same fraternity, Phi Gamma Delta
( Fiji), became good friends and roomed together with three other close "brothers " our senior year.
We both served in the Peace Corps in different countries following graduation. We loved playing tennis together, and shared many other memorable experiences.
Rich was a gifted student academically, had a true love for learning, achieved top academic credentials, and was a perfect match for his longtime profession as a college Professor at Whitworth. He had a marvelous relational style and was loved by his students and colleagues!
I always loved being around and with Rich. He had a wonderful blend of personal attributes, was a true man of faith with a love for God, and admired and treasured by all who knew him.
I am grateful to have known him and count him as a lifetime friend!
Best To All, Sincerely,
Keith Black

Miss you, dad. There's so much I'd like to say, but the only words not escaping me are "I love you." I love you forever.
