Condolence: To the friends and family of Richard.
It was today that I set about to track down the whereabouts of my friend Richard. When he came to Seattle for tests, etc.. we would visit and check in - it was a deep sigh that ended my searching for his cheery presence... Having not heard from him and having mailed returned, I knew. Though there is a sense of gladness that his long illness and pain is resolved, his "it's all good" countenance will be missed in my life. We met through idle ferry conversation 9-10 years ago and continued to visit when I was island bound - the introduction to Sterling and Jeannie, subsequent trips and long hours at cards are the stuff of pleasant memories of time well spent. Many blessings Richard and cheers to your full life of love and merriment.

Condolence: Just want the family to know Richard will be missed dearly, but never forgotten.Was a blessing to be able to work with and his smiling face will be missed greatly.Want the family to know you will be in my prayers.

Condolence: I have known Richard for over nine years. He shared his witty spirit with all of us at Walmart and he will be sorely missed. But he leaves us with such wonderful memories and lots of laughter. He has also left us with some of his art work in our breakroom. I pray comfort to his family and friends and know that his spirit will always be with us.

We love and miss you Richard.

Condolence: We have had the pleasure of knowing Richard for over 9 years. His smile and good nature was always there for everyone. It is hard to believe that he is gone. Our prayers are with the family and friends who feel the lost. He won't be forgotten. We were so lucky to have known him and be able to hear his stories.

Condolence: When We Remember
You can shed tears that he is gone
or you can smile because he has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that he’ll come back
Or you can open your eyes and see all he’s left.
Your heart can be empty because you can’t see him
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember him and only that he’s gone
or you can cherish his memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back
or you can do what he’d want:
smile,
open your eyes,
love
and go on.
Richard I will always remember the great times we hade going sking and swimming at the pool. The helping hand you gave to my family,we laughed every time you called Carol "kathy" we will think of you often and enjoy the memories we shared with you. You will be greatly missed, We love you.
Joe & Carol Tingley and Family

Condolence: Dick, or Reeshard, as he often called himself was full of life. Several years ago Dick planned a wonderful family reunion on Whidbey Island. Many cousins, nieces, and nephews were there. We had fun from morning until late at night. It was a chance to renew friendships and familyships. Going back to the home where Aunt Kay and Uncle Ken lived was a real treat. Thank you, Dick for sharing your love with all of us. Greet the angels in heaven for me. They are so blessed to have you. Karen Audet, (Pete's wife)
