  4. Richard was a kind and loving person that I have known for over 29 years. I'll always remember the so many good times, especially at the “Dog races”. I will bet a race for you Richard !! My love and prayers are for you Rita, my best friend and also for Richard's family. I will miss you and we all will take care of our Rita . RIP

  5. Richard was a most special person in my life for many years – 60, to be exact. His humor kept me chuckling; his caring nature and dependability were some of his finest attributes. I don't think he was ever not true to himself. Before I actually got to know him, in my sophomore year of high school all I knew of him was that he was a good looking dude with a cool swagger… Then, I saw him at a the first Scholarship Club meeting of the school year. I couldn't believe my eyes! What?? He's SMART TOO??? I was too young to realize that cool guys could have “brains” too! And boy, was I wrong about this kid!!! Who became my lifelong friend. I loved him dearly and will miss him immensely. God rest your soul, Richard Bilski.

  6. Richard will be missed by so many. Good friends up north and fun to spend time with while down south. So very sorry for you and the family's loss,Rita. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

  7. God bless Richard and God bless you, Rita. So sorry for your loss. So glad for the good life you two had together!

  8. I offer my deepest condolences for your loss.These times prove to be the hardest for us, when we lose a loved one in death. God's word the Bible gives us encouraging information regarding death.1Corinthians 15:26, Acts 24:15, Revelation 21:4. May these Bible truths bring you comfort at this time.

  9. Rita, We are sorry to hear of your loss. So glad that we had the time to talk to you both when we were working at your place. You have the deepest sympathy of everyone at C. I. R., Inc. who knew Dick for many years.

  10. Sitting here on New Year's Eve, thinking back over the years and my memories took me back to New Year's Eve in 1957. Skip was my first love – at age 16 – I don't think I ever got over him. I was poking around on FaceBook tonight and found mention of his death on someone's page. What a shock. I'm glad he found love twice and had a full life with a number of children. RIP, Skip. May God hold his entire family in His loving arms.
