Uncle Dick. Even though the miles separated us, I still feel your absence in my heart. I always looked forward to seeing you, your sense of humor and good natured spirit was awesome. Always had a good time and laughter with you. So sad to have a great man and uncle leave us so soon. I will always miss you.

Dad,
Yes, you will be missed and forever will be in my heart and dreams. You went way to fast, to many additional times that I would of liked to say how much I loved you. How you made everyone just a little bit more cheerful the moment you stepped into a room. Thank you for teaching me whats important in life and being an example of what I believed to be a "Perfect Man" May I be so lucky in life to have someone think of me as half the man that I know you were. What a wonderful Father you were. Love You, Love You, Love You!

RD, Uncle Dick- You left us all to soon and all to sudden. You are missed every day. I never got the chance to thank you or Aunt Honey for all the love and support you gave so freely and for letting me spend every year we came out with the family in the country and in town. Everytime I smell the onions I drift back to you pulling into your bike after work.
Rest In Peace
Thank You!
Love always aka Lil Buddy, skinny, Jr, Herbie

Richard and Marcy - what a perfect couple they were together.
It made us feel good to be around Richard. He was always smiling and happy. What a good and kind man he was. The world is a better place because he was here. We will miss him.
A golden heart stopped beating because God wanted to prove to us He only takes the Best. Jim and Sandy Allendorf (Sun City, Roseville)

Richard and Marcie were so kind to us as we were moving in next door to them. A very warm and exhausting day. Richard's warm smile and offers to help, made us feel so welcome in our new neighborhood. Marcie offering treats and even gave us a garden ornament for our new yard. Our time spent together was way too short, but such a blessing. We will miss Richard very much. Our sympathys for Marcelena and Family. Frank and Jody

"I greatly enjoyed playing water volleyball with Rich at Sun City, Roseville. He was never bossy or critical. Instead he exempified a Christ-like attitude. We will greatly miss him!!"

Richard Partlow was probably the nicest man I have ever met. I loved his wonderful uplifting attitude, his smile and humor. He was always so much fun to be around. I bowled on a team with him in Rocklin, CA and we discovered that we both had lived in Allendale. Rest in peace, Richard. You'll be greatly missed.

I remember Richard was a close friend to my Dad. I will always remember him as "one of the guys". His warm smile and laughter will be missed, but never forgotten. Although I have not seen him in years, I have wonderful memories of the softball games, bowling and Friday Night Poker games. I feel blessed to have witnessed the friendships he shared with "all the guys" Rest in Peace, Richard.
