Lighting a candle today to honor dad on his birthday. Dad you are greatly missed. Love you  Karen

Missing you today on what would have been your 86th birthday. Love and miss you Dad.

Karen, this is a wonderful memorial for your dad. He was quite an interesting man. He was blessed to have you as a daughter. You have my deepest sympathy and prayers for comfort and peace at this time. Stacy

Karen, Derek and Family,
My love and prayers are with you all. Your Dad will always be in your heart and your memories. Wishing you God's love and comfort now and always.

Karen...my thoughts and prayers go out to you and your son and your entire family on your loss. Remember the good times. God Bless.

Karen, I wish I could be there for you. I know your father is finally happy to be reunited with your mother. They will always guide you and Derek. Stay strong.

Ahhhh Richard, I am so going to miss hearing your accent and voice. When you first started dating my sister, I remember I was somewhat scared and intimidated by it. As I got older I became very curious about it and even wanted to learn another language and not just the Spanish we had in school, because of you.  Then as I grew older I became to love to hear it and especially when you laughed. I am very grateful you were a part of my life and you allowed me to be part of yours. I will miss hearing "Well 'sanks' for calling Patti. Now enjoy time with friends and family, Love Ya, Pat

Thoughts and prayers to each of you in the loss of your father and grandfather. Your memories will last a lifetime.

What a pleasure it was for me, a stranger, to get to know, interview and write the Memoir, "A Displaced Person", of a very unique man.

A man who loved his wife and family immensely; a man whose work ethic I most admired; a selfless man. Richard Thoricht you have left huge footprints, your life experiences will forever contribute to the generations who follow. God Bless you as you proudly watch over your loving family ~ Samantha Elphick

Dad I will miss you very much. I know you are at peace and with mom now. Derek will miss you and loves you. We know you will watch over us for years to come. Love you  Karen

Missing you today, and always. May you watch over us with Aunt Barbara. Lots of love! -Ashley
