Sorry for your loss condolences to the family
Please accept my deepest condolences. I worked with Dick for several years. He was very dedicated and a privilege to know.
Stephanine, Greg, Monica and Gracie – I’m thinking about you and your whole family. Just watched the tribute video and it was beautiful. A lifetime of precious memories and a family with lots of love in it. That is obvious and I’m so sorry for your loss. Becky McClung
Please know the family of Richard Van Noy is in my thoughts and prayers. I worked with “Dick” for many years at Naval Air Warfare Center and at Defense Contract Management Agency. I will always remember his kindness to me, his humor, how pleasant he was to work with and just to be around, and how much he loved his family which was so lovingly expressed in his video tribute. Praying for God’s comfort, abundant blessings and His peace that passeth all understanding upon Dick’s family.
R J: Let the memories of your father provide you with comfort and serve as guidance.
