Dearest Stieren Family and Friends,
It is with profound sadness that we learned of Rich’s passing. Please accept our deepest sympathies on this terrible loss. Bill had the privilege of knowing Rich since shortly after Suzanne met Dave roughly 35 years ago whereas Irene, Sam and Alea for roughly 20. As a family, we discussed what stood out in our minds about Rich and it was unanimous- his smile, laugh and zest for life. Although we would sometimes go months or even years between visits, we would pick up conversations as if there was no gap between them. We will be reaching out in the future to check on you and will pray each day for each of you.
