Condolence From: Addison Lemay
Condolence: Richard was one of my closest friends througout DLI, Fort Ord Air Assault School, Fort Huachucca Interogation school, and then Delta Company, 313th Military Intelligence Battalion 82nd Airborne Division. Richard invited me to spend holidays with him and his then wife Laura when I had no family or no where else to go. Richard spend countless hours with me fixing my piece of garbage jeep bc he knew it was my only transportation. I could not have asked for a better friend and I know few better men than Richard Bennett. His memory will forever be part of my life. I wish his family and friends all the condolonces I can muster. Thank you Addison LeMay, SSG NY Guard

Condolence: I met Richard in grade school (second grade) and remained good friends through high school and beyond. There are so many memories of growing up together, getting in trouble, and having a lot of fun. Richard was very competitive, crafty, athletic, smart, and had a zest for life. We spent countless hours competing in video games, Rubik’s cube, drums, and even created our own challenges on the playground and everywhere else. Richard’s Mom was very sharp and could usually figure out when we were up to something. We learned to cover our tracks fairly well; even so, Joy almost always managed to sniff out the truth, giving us a forced break in playdates for a while. Richard was very crafty….. Joy never knew that we could navigate around the entire living room and dining room without touching the floor (after this challenge, we spent some time with Pledge and dust rags to remove all traces of footprints and fingerprints).
In high school, we spent many hours in the percussion section making musical noise and mostly goofing off. I look back now and have some regret for the problems we caused the band director and for the various shades of red that he turned in abject frustration with us.
Unfortunately, Richard and I lost touch after high school as we both moved away from Battle Creek but managed to keep in touch infrequently through his Mother. I am proud of Richard’s service in the Army and that he made a good life for himself and his family.
Rest in peace my old friend, I will cherish the memories and our friendship forever. God Bless and provide comfort to his family and many friends.

Condolence: Thank you Kathy Bennett for your love and devotion as a Best Friend and Wife to our brother Rich. I met him Fall of 1970 as a 5 year old when I started dating Gary. Watching your tender, 24-7 nursing of him has been an amazing lesson of JESUS compassion and heart for each of us. Absent from the body and present with the Lord; last breath here--exhale is in the presence of the LORD. Amazing! Love the fishing man and pictures. JESUS is literally holding you through this journey. We love you Sis!
