We are sending healing thoughts and prayers to the family. We didn’t really know Rich but heard that he was a wonderful man of faith and was very respected by his co-workers and all that knew him. He was our cousin and ironically passed on the very day of the cousins reunion that we were supposed to attend. Unfortunately, God had another plan for all of us. All the very best of love & blessings as he rests in peace. God Bless! Jacqui & Al Newhall

Please accept my sincere condolences for the loss of your beloved husband, father, brother and friend, Richard. No words could ever convey the pain of your heart, but our loving Creator and Heavenly Father does know. He has promised that very soon this enemy, death, and all the things that bring our hearts pain will be a distant memory-Hosea 13:14. Until then, please find comfort in knowing that “He (God) is close to the broken hearted and those crushed in spirit he saves”-Psalm 34:18. It is my hope that these passages along with your loving memories of Richard, comfort your hearts and give you a measure of peace during this most difficult time.
Jane and Charlie Caselman (Air Midwest/ICT) says
The world has lost a truly special individual who touched many lives. The care, compassion, integrity and faith Rich was known for will live on in those he touched. Thank you to Julie and the kids for sharing such a wonderful man with so many over the years. We are blessed to have known him. Prayers continue for peace and strength in the coming days and weeks!
Reynolds Family says
I’m so sorry for your loss. I hope you find comfort in Jesus words at John 5:28,29. There Jesus promised a resurrection of our loved ones, saying that the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out. These resurrected ones will inherit the earth, as Jesus spoke about in Matthew chapter 5. Then, under the rule of God’s Kingdom, they will enjoy life the way God originally intended, in perfect health with no sorrow, pain or death. (Psalms 37:29. Isaiah 33:24. Revelation 21:4). What a wonderful time that will be! If you would like to learn more about this hope, please visit jw.org. Please accept my condolences.

To the family, when I started my career at Kal Aero in Battle Creek as an interior design engineer, Rich was always willing to help and mentor me in aircraft interior construction. I even had an oppurtunity to travel to Hartford CT with him to look at evaluate an airplane. He always had a can do attitude. He’ll surely be missed. God bless his family for comfort in this difficult time.

My wishes for peace to your family and to find the strength to focus on the blessings his 57 years brought to us all, his family and the many he influenced that you will never know in full. I am proud to have been his friend and coworker….I will forever be an admirer. He will be missed by many. My sincerest condolences.
Tenja Young says
I am telling myself it is never too late to send kind words to someone. I did not know Rich, but became aware of his battle because of his wife’s post about Steve’s Pizza. You see, her story about her husbands’s favorite pizza place was so touching to me. Not because he had cancer but because Steve’s Pizza held a special place in his heart and it represented so many memories for him, his wife and their family. When money was tight for my husband and I we would do the same…grab a pizza for dinner for us and our two sons. Sometimes that is all we could do but even though times were hard, those memories will forever be cherished. Thank you for opening up and sharing your story. I pray for peace for your family.
