Nathan,
I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your Dad. He was a great photographer and I always enjoyed talking with him. He will be missed. We'll keep you, Mel, and your family in our thoughts and prayers.

To the Family:
I came to know Nathan through Mel. She is one of our family's deepest friends and we came to love Nathan just the same. We are all truly sorry for your loss and just wanted you to know that each of you are in our prayers.

I value the time I got to know and work with Richard. I especially value his great "dry" wit. It was always fun to meet with him. He supported me in my early days in Charleston and I will always value that. I will miss him.

My friend Gina, and family
It has been a very very long time-
Just wanted to share my sympathies to you all. You and Rich both were there for some low points in my life and I thank you for that. The best picture I've ever had taken of me was by Rich!
I have fond memories of my trip to Colorado---and our boating in Syracuse -- so many years ago!

Please know you are in my thoughts
may you all find Peace--------

Richard was my cousin. Altho I hadn't seen him in many, many years I have fond memories of when we were growing up and visiting the family out in Denver. My thoughts and prayers are with Gina and boys as well as with Doug, Deb and Toni. Been a tough year for the family with the death of Richard's mom, uncle, and now Richard himself. I know he's in a better place now and no longer suffering. May memories of Richard (Dickie) keep him alive forever in your hearts. Take care and God Bless.
