Condolence From: Louisa
Condolence: Love you all Vaseks!! Sending you Lou Ann, Jeff, Donna, Laura and Blake and Carole a big hug. I am honored to have known one of the kindest men on this planet. I saw him shortly after Russ's death. We were standing in Carole's kitchen and after he gave me w big hug ... He said, "You're strong, You're strong" and in that moment he evoked something within me that I could make it through and I knew if he believed I could than I would. May all your memories buoy you through all the moments and days ahead. I am with all you in spirit. Xo Louisa

Condolence From: Margaret Svetlin Abbott
Condolence: A favorite cousin has left us with his laughter and smile and wry wit as part of our memories of him. Richard was a great and caring and loving Husband, Father and relative. He never failed to make time for all visitors as well as reached out to include anyone who came close to his area, even though it is a small blip on the MS. map. Mother and Daddy were always proud of all their nieces and nephews, but having the "outlaws" reach out to them made them especially pleased and loved. They felt there was nothing better than to encourage others to reach for the stars and their best selves. I'd say, having visited over the years, Richard epitomized all the best which reflects not only his upbringing, but his embracing of his family and his God.
My sincerest sympathy, Lou Ann and family. He will be sorely missed.
