Dear Mr. Kaiser..It's me again..I woke up just moments ago with Rich heavy on my mind..I still have one of his voice messages that I listen to everyday..it's not a real happy voice message, but it's Rich's voice nonetheless..I believe Rich is still watching out for Nikki and I..Mr. Kaiser, Rich's passing still saddens me so very much..its been years and coming up on his anniversary and I just can't get past his passing..Nik and I will be moving soon..our new home will be smaller but there will still be plenty of yard space for Nikki to run around..I still feel so lost in all of this..and I still don't understand why Rich is gone..I miss his laughter..and I haven't made "mud pie" since he's been gone..please tell rich, Nikki and I send our love..xo

John and Amanda: I am sorry your Poppop died and I feel very sad for you. When I found out that my Dad passed away before I could say goodbye I felt very sad and left out. When my Grandma Honey Bunny died, I cried for one day and I felt very sad. So again, I am sorry that your Poppop died. It must have been a sad moment. In Heaven, your Poppop will feel happy if he meets my Dad and Casey (my dog who passed away when she was 11). Brian</b></font><br><br>

My Fathers Eulogy:
My father had a profound impact on the life my sister and I live today, the people we have become and the person we each aspire to be. To the fathers and children here today, the relationship between a child and father can often be quite complicated. The relationship Kim and I had with my father was no different. We loved, admired, fought, argued, respected and sometimes even confused each other. But when all was said and done we were always best friends.
We were blessed to have you Dad.
I know it's common at a funeral to only remember the good things and to omit the things that would embarrass someone. In my father's case, the most remarkable thing that can be said is that there is no bad. Dad was easy to like and a hard man to dislike.
Dad lived life with optimism. He loved people --He loved company and he loved to laugh. Dad always wanted to please. He was rarely, if ever, critical of people and was always generous to his friends. Dad never expected anything in return. He truly didn't have an unkind bone in his body.
There were few things in his life that my father didn't love. Life’s greatest pleasure weren’t material objects but rather enjoying time spent with family and friends. Making “home made” peanut-butter and jelly sandwichs for his grandchildren and the neighborhood children, or teaching Amanda his secret Thanksgiving stuffing recipe, which together Amanda and Pop made this year. He so loved his family. From soccer games to the honor role, Dad seized every opportunity to express the pride he had for his children and grand-children as many of you here today would attest too, he would do so again and again and again and again………..
No man was more of a devoted husband then my father. He so loved Mom, high school sweet-hearts. With a grinning smile, Dad loved to reflect on their dating days. Hard to believe this sweat-hearted man was the James Dean bad boy of Union who swept my mother off her feet and caused my Nana and Pop Pop Rhinehart to have many restless nights, wondering where this bad boy has taken their daughter.
Like so many couples do, as time went on, Mom and Dad awakened each other by saying Hello my Love – Hello my Life and as the day continued the nick names would graduate to the Bickerson’s …….48 years together …who would have thought…….
Dad was a man who loved to work and knew what an honest day's work was. He loved his blue work uniform and his name on his shirt. He loved driving to work in his black pick up truck named POP – POP’s TOY. To dad, the people he worked with were his extended family he loved knowing each and every one of them, he loved hearing about their families and loved exchanging stories with them. To his extended family – Thank you. To the Dapsis family, words cannot express the love my father had for you. Dad did many things, but he especially loved the outdoors, albeit junior farmer who didn’t have the heart to charge for the eggs, but instead would fill the money box with his own money to avoid letting it be known he was taking a loss. Or, naming his cows, the concept being that once a cow has a name it can’t go to the butcher
Dad taught me to hunt and fish and over the past several years some of his happiest days were spent fishing at Merrill Creek reservoir passing down the tradition to his grandchildren, John and Amanda. Now it is my turn to honor my father by continuing the tradition with John and Amanda
As Dad became ill he never lost his love for life and respect for the caregivers who surrounded him. These people, like us here today, saw the special person Dad was, the love he had in him and the zest for life his blue eyes held. Many a nurse or hospital technician simply called Dad --- sugar…………
As my father neared death, Kim and I wanted him to know that we were with him on his final journey on earth. Our last words to him were "We are proud of you and love you Pop."
Today, Dad is in a place we are not ready for. Dad left us only to be greeted by his parents, lost friends and dog Mocha. Some day all of us will have the great opportunity to see Dad, and we will look forward to that time.
In closing, a friend once told me that when he is confronted with a situation that he does not know how to address, he often asks himself how his father would address it. I leave you with that same thought, when you are confronted with a problem, situation or question that requires guidance- ask yourself how would Richie Kaiser handle it – The right answer and a smile is guaranteed to prevail.
We will forever miss you. We love you Dad!</b></font><br><br>

Sharron, Kim, Rich and family:
It was a short year ago that I lost my dad, my mom lost her husband. This is an impossible time but it was the love expressed through a life time of friends that helped sustain us. Draw from that strength as much as you can now.
Had it not been for Ritchie I would have lost my job in that first year. No one would give a single mom with three kids a car loan. Ritchie understood that and placed the call and applied the gentle pressure that got me my first car loan. God Bless Him. St. Peter is up there right now saying "Ritchie, I hope you are strong enough to carry this huge crown you created for yourself on earth". I am sure his reward will be great.
He will be missed.
Love, Joanne</b></font><br><br>
