Ellen, I want to add my condolences to you and the entire family. I also want to say that the obituary was so fine. What a tribute to what we called ourselves, “The Nobodies of History”. But I would add, at times we were somebody!. There is a Mystery to life. People die all the time, but don’t leave much of a mark. Yet there ii is, a dream made real. A library, just a library, but step inside and you will feel the love that made it. Grace and Peace, Jack

With Ellen, his children and grandchildren, we celebrate the profound service and generosity of Richard (and Ellen) that we do know through their work with EI, OE, and ICA.
In keeping with his love of the ocean, “Journey On, Richard, with grace and peace and love, on life’s unending sea, “
Lynda and John
