My Deepest Sympathy to all the Mosher Family Our lives go back a long time and it is with great sadness knowing another part of our past has left us...These are very difficult times for all who knew Dick as he was such a vibrant individual and so loving and caring. He will be greatly missed by many especially you Mary and all your family... I will remember all of you in my thoughts and prayers for a long time to come. It won't be easy but you will always have those wonderful memories of Dick..what a wonderful husband and Father he was.
All My Love...

Dear Moshers',
Dick was a very dear friend to me, as we spent many mornings together having coffee before going to the trading floor. We didn't solve many of the world's problems, but it wasn't for lack of effort. He was a dear sweet man, and I am proud to have known him. God Bless you all, and you know he is in a better place.
Much love,
George

Dear Mary and Family,
My Dad called me to tell me the news about Dick. I can't tell you how sorry I am for your loss.
You and Dick have always been family to me. I feel so fortunate to have been able to spend some time with both of you when I lived in Chicago. I will never forget the day I went to see Dick at the salon and we had a cup of his soup together. I loved visiting with him. I know how much you both mean to my Father and my Mother when she was alive.
I wish I could have been there for the services. I will be in touch soon. All my love
Mary Kay Locallo Reichenbach

Dear Mary:
I was sad to learn that Richard passed away. He and I had a wonderful, interesting relationship as family and in our work with the Chicago Police Department. He was more than just a partner. I loved him as a brother. Please extend my deepest sympathy to yourself and your beautiful family.
