Condolences for Richard W. Stiles
I met Rich 50 years ago and we have remained friends ever since He
was a very kind and caring man. My fondest memories are of he and Vona
at the Longshot every Friday night dancing to a country band.
Later it was a group of 12 of us at the Moose Club every weekend
dancing and partying.
Even though I’m very saddened by his passing an will miss my friend
dearly, I find comfort in knowing he is happy with the love of his life,
Vona and best friend, Norb, who are the two people he talked about every
time we met for breakfast. He always said how much he missed and loved
them both.
My condolences to Rich’s family and friends. You are in my prayers.
