Rich was fun to work with, he always had something funny to say and was never in a bad mood. He made many people smile, when he came aroumd the office space. Rich you will be missed.

I carry great respect for Rich & will miss our “short” conversations and his “witty” sense of humor. I will always remember Rich as a man of honor and integrity – this will never change. To Dottie, my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Hey Rich, I have thought about you often. I sometimes get down on myself for the way I treated you early on. I am happy a few years back you excepted my apology for being a punk kid! (: Everyone learns something from eachother in life and now that I look back you taught me how to grow up and not depend on my mother for everything. I miss our greetings, I would salute you or say something funny and you would laugh. I can think of so many good memories. You would do just about anything for me when I needed. I remember all of the dinners you made. What a cook!!! You were also like a mini dr too whenever I had a sickness or problem you knew the answer. I didn't forget that you still owe me dinner! Remember we had a double or nothing bet on the 97 NBA finals and you lost? You owe me the peanut butter chicken and deep fried mushrooms. That bet is 10 years old pay up buddy!!!I found only one cigar of the box you and I bought together and I am going to save it untill I have a proud moment in my life woth smoking so that I can share it with you in spirit. I heard Hotel Califonia the other day and it made me cry thinking about when we went to that concert together and had a blast. As long as there are always good food, good cigars, the eagles cd's, and my imagination I will never forget you Richy (that would always tick you off (: I trust your with the lord and if you need me for anything have him tell me. I will keep my promises I made you on your bed and just know that I will always respect you as a man and as a husband!
Love Joey

Grandpa~ I cant begin to express how much you will be missed. I can tell you that your life, and example has led many people to live their own lives better. I know that I cherish our last fishing trip and the advice I recieved. I can honestly say because of your advice I am now living my dreams and goals. Grandpa I love you and will miss you. Grandma Dottie I love you and my thoughts and prayers are with you and will continue to be while you go through this very hard time.
Death is but a dream
And upon our awakening
We will find light without end
And sweet joy for the taking
This life will be as nothing
A moment lost in time.
A hand full of dust and ashes
Is all we will leave behind
With the exception of some memories
Left to those who loved us-
Memories sweet and tender, tied
With heartstrings, wrapped in stardust.
God bless us to be half the person in life that you were grandpa...

I had the pleasure of Rich's company once a year, for a good ten years in a long standing fantasy football league. Rich had a presence that will be sorely missed. I recently lost my father and I would like to express my condolences to the Loth Family.

Even though we never had the privilege to meet Richard, we feel we know him through our friend Bill McDaniel. Bill has shared with us, many of Richards ups & downs including the struggle with his health problems. Dottie, we feel your pain & want you to know that our prayers & thoughts are with you at this very sad time.

One of the hardest thing I have had to do in life is help plan and coordinate the memorial service for my friend Rich. I have know this man for 15 years and I will truly miss him..I'm missing him now. The words of Rich's brother Ray is echoed by many of Rich's friends. Hardship was never a hardship for Rich only an opportunity to conquer and move on. On behalf of Dottie & the Loth & Baker families I want to thank all of you for taking the time to honor such a wonderful person. Rich is HOME FREE now and I'm sure he is smiling down on all of us.

This is just about Richard. He was my brother, best friend, and the one person that stood above the rest. I have been around him for 57 years, so you might say I knew him better than most anyone else. When he was 17, he was delt a crushing blow: a very serious car wreck. For the first 10 days, they said he had a 30% chance to live!And if he did, he would be confined to a bed, well, as you know, he did live! And with a gusto for life, he never said I can't! He said if I have a will to do it, there's a way. He didn't want help. He wanted TO help those that needed help. He had a heart as big as the sky. He knew hardships, but to him that was just part of life. And he loved life! The last night I had the Honor and Privilege to know him, he seemed to know that I would be gone. He made us get him into his wheelchair so that he could wheel out from the bedroom on his own power and gave my wife and me a Big hug and a Kiss goodbye. As I sit here with tears running down my cheeks, I am not the least bit embarrassed for I had the honor of knowing one of the finest men in the world. My brother Richard Loth. Love you Bro!

Uncle Richard. I want to thank you for being such a wonderful person. For giving this world almost 60 wonderful enriching years. Thank you for all the great times at the river. The 57 years of friendship to my dad. The kindness that you have shown to everyone. You will be greatly missed for the life YOU have given to us. The years that we have known and loved YOU. This really is about you Uncle Richard and you know how much everyone loves you.

To all the fish we caught, lost or had on, to all the poker hands both won and lost, to all the Jack backs and Manhattans at the Iron Horse, to pulling our hair out over the Terack and Autocad. Its been a good ride that ended too soon. You will be missed. My sympathies Dottie and family.

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I'm not there, I do not sleep.
I'm a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glint in the snow
and the gentle autumn rain.
When you wake in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I'm not there; I did not die.

I am so very sorry for the loss of Rich. It's a loss for us all. He was such a special person, always with a smile on his face. I worked with Rich at the City for 6 years and had some difficult times with chronic illness and City management. Rich was always there for me. He was one of few that could brighten up my day. He stuck by me and we kept in touch by email. I am so sad to hear we lost such an angel in disguise. I cry over the loss of such a wonderful person and friend. May we all strive to be like Rich. As the saying goes, "I'm better off for having known him." I take comfort in knowing that you're at peace now, Rich. I'll never forget you!
