Kent and Jean, so sorry for your loss. You cared for your dad and the family business for a lifetime in the best way you knew how. Thoughts and prayers are with you.
i needed a weld so drove west on ole hyw 30 out of fremont. On north side of 30 was a weld shop. welder stated he unable to weld such, but there was a new person in arlington that could do so stopped at shop in arlington and there was Rich with his feet on desk. I never saw that again and would remind him of that. he was a friend and excellent welder. norm larson

Dear Kent,
I am terribly sorry to hear about the passing of your father. Just wanted to let you know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers at this time.
Kent and Pam, I’m so sorry to hear of your father’s death. I remember what a kind man he was, you all were great neighbors & friends. May God comfort you and your families in this time of loss.
Please accept our sympathy in the loss of your father. Kent, we have many fond memories of you playing drums with a big smile on your face as your talented mother played the organ & your dad displayied his dancing talents! Such a music loving family!
Many times my husband had a need for repairs, knowing that either you or your Dad would have the expertise to repair or MAKE a piece to “do the job”!
We want you to know our thoughts and prayers are with you.
To Rich’s family:
We are so sorry for your loss. Enfield’s Tree Service did a lot of business with Rich. He was a joy to deal with and a joy to talk to. He will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him. He was loved by many.
Kent and Pam (and families)… I was so surprised to see your Dad’s passing last week. Mort was a great family man and his love for you kids is reflected in the way you have taken care of your own families. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all in this unusual time and please let us know when the memorial service takes place.
God be with you,
Bonnie’s boys… Curt, Marty and Keith (and families)
Rich’s family, We are so sorry to see that Rich passed. We got to know him over the last few years. He was very pleasant to talk to. Started meeting at the Ponderosa in Elk City, if we didn’t plan to meet, we could find him there anyway almost every time . Hope Heidi is OK We will miss him and think of him often.
