We love you uncle Rich. May you rest in peace. If we could bring you back again, For one more hour or day, We�d express all our unspoken love; We�d have countless things to say. If we could bring you back again, We�d say we treasured you, And that your presence in our lives Meant more than we ever knew. If we could bring you back again, To tell you what we should, You�d know how much we miss you now, And if we could, we would.

friend,cousin,brother-in-law....Saying farwell is hard. I will miss our good times, bad times, sad times. I will miss our figts over football "your cowboys and my skins". I will miss our card games and you trying to cheat me, yes I said it "cheat". I will miss our sled rides to work! I will miss stealing all your hot peppers! And most of all I will miss you! Thank you for being my friend and family. Rest in Peace! Until we meet again. Love always, Betty

Richard...what can I really say? I didn't know you all that well. There wasn't a whole lot of activity surrounding our relationship. However that doesn't change the way I feel. I did love you and I will miss you, but God only takes away those he is ready to bring home. We all are mourning the loss but I know that God is brought you to a better place. May you rest in peace and keep watch on our family. Love, Nikki

Aunt Sharon, I feel devastated by your loss and the family's loss. I just found out that the services are being held as I write this. I have so much I want to say and will get Bonnie to try and help me put it in a letter to send to you as soon as possible. I loved my uncle Rich so much & I love you just as deeply. I hope the family that surrounds you (no matter the physical distance) will provide some small measure of comfort, that little man made a HUGE impact in my life and my heart aches. When I recover enough to hold phone conversations I will give you a call. I LOVE YOU!! Your "boy" Willie
