Dear brother you will be missed. I remember our growing up. The family times we had together. Love your sister Barb
I have only fond memories of Richard having worked with him and his teammate and coworker Lon Robinson until they both retired. He was a good friend who I could always count on for help with my customers in Asia and Australia. I have thought of him often since he retired and was sad to hear of his passing. Rest in peace and God bless.
Rich will be dearly missed he was my mentor when I first started working for Tension. Because of him that’s how I receive my nickname Chico. Our deepest sympathy goes out to his wife and family.
Rich was in my life as a dear friend of my family since I was a child. His jovial good nature will be dearly missed! Condolences to Vicki and his children and family!
