Sending my condolences to the family for your loss. Rich had always treated me well whenever I came to the house to hang out with Stephanie. (he even made the best root beer floats!) He always had a way of making you smile and his laugh was contagious. Heaven gained an angel too soon.
Stephanie and family.
We are so very sorry for the loss of your dad! Hugs to you all.
Rick has been our neighbor for over the past decade. Our family will miss our yard chats. He always loved our Halloween and Christmas displays and said he was just going to put a sign in his yard that said “ditto.” :) He always noticed when we were extra busy with our kids and their activities and we have come home to a freshly mowed lawn. He just always went above and beyond for us as a neighbor. We will deeply miss his smiles and laughter and our condolences to all of his friends and family. He will be greatly missed by many.
Stephanie and Family. Our condolences and prayers for the loss of your father and the kids grandfather.
– Ben, Kris, Emmie, and Brie
