God bless you Rik. Thank you for helping me to understand the other side and that there is one.  I'll see you there one day.

Rik was a generous soul.  Loving to serve and to help anyone who asked.  He never showed impatience or tiring of working to help the masses!  Rik's enjoying the demonstration of proving the continuity of life was an added tool in the mission.  God bless you, Rik as, you are joined by many there and, we know, will continue to guide from there.   With Deep Respect, Elizabeth Keady,  intuitive artist and medium.

To The Family And Friends of Rik Kristinat
I had the pleasure of meeting Rik only but a year ago.  He brought so much joy to my life I could not begin to tell you. A wonderful man in so many ways.  We will all miss him and for all who you knew him for so long I wish you only the Best Memories I can see Only Rik could Provide for you All.

My Best To You All During This Time.  A Great Man With A Great Forever Spirit!

Denise Borosak and Family

Thanks for the classes.  Thinking of you.

Deeply sorry to learn of the passing of Rik.  His gentle spirit and brilliant acumen will be sorely missed.  Sincere condolences to Hal, Rik's family and your pets.  I know you will all miss him as will anyone he touched in a meaningful way.  May you all be comforted at this time.

Sincerely
Roni Ambrister

Dear Hal and the entire Kristinat family -- I share your sorrow at losing such a vibrant and loving presence in the room. Rik was such a good Spiritualist teacher, you know he's going to continue his ministry from the other side and always be with us. Peace and comfort to you in this difficult time.

I will always remember Rik for his compassion for all, regardless of what you had or lack thereof. I worked with Rik at Linda Jack Talent in the early 90's. He always knew how to make me smile when I would have a down day. I will truly miss him

I knew Rik through the Graue Mill. I thought he was a wonderful presenter and so excited to speak with all the visitors there. I will miss his presence there very much. I know his work there had a real impact on so many people, as he shared his insights into the history of the early days of Dupage County. Thanks so much Rik.

Dear Hal and the Kristinat Family,
You have our deepest sympathy on the loss of Rik.
God be with him.
The Dziuba Family.
Dan, Annette, Danny and Mike.

Dear Hal and the Kristinat family, I know you have all delighted in the years of  joy that Rik brought to every occasion. He is in the loving embrace of his father and son now, and the three of them will be an indomitable force advocating for all of you in times of difficulty. What a wonderful and talented man. What a gift to have had him in your lives. May you all be blessed with peace and comfort at this time of loss,  knowing that his spirit will be there for you always. I wish I could be there to  honor him but I will be keeping him in my prayers. God bless you all.

My thoughts and prayers are with robyn and her children and husband she always talked proudly of her brother I know how much she will miss him and god bless her kids I'm sure they have a new guardian angle upstairs

Dear Kathy and Family, my thoughts and prayers go out to you and yours. May the Lord surround your family with the comfort only he can give at this time of great loss. May GOD Bless and keep you.

Our deepest sympathies and condolences to Fran and the entire Kristinat family.  I'm sure Rik, "Roc", and Dick are smiling, laughing together and already creating havoc in the heavenly halls.  You go guys!

From the first moment I met Rik in 1995 I was crazy about him and we became fast friends. I was having trouble getting over the death of my mother and his messages from my mom helped me. My heart is with Rik's mom, Hal, Keith and all of his family and friends who share in my extreme sadness...I will miss my wonderful friend so much and hope that he is happy wherever he may be!
He deserves only the best for the happiness he has brought to all of our lives!!

Our hearts reach out to all of you as we express out sincere condolences for your loss.  Meeting Rik made such an impact in our lives, even for such brief moments. 

A wonderful soul, who made a difference every day.  A special family.

My condolences to Rik's partner, family and friends.

When I entered Tinley Park High School in 1973 as a freshman, Rik was in his last year as a senior. I met him in Drama Club when we tried out for parts in Roger & Hammerstein's Camelot, Rik received the lead as King Arthur and I was Mordred, Arthur's illegitimate son. I remember how helpful Rik was with helping me with lines, and learning the part.

Thank you Rik, I wish you peace and your Partner, Family and Friends many happy memories.

My condolences to the Kristinat and Calomino Families and to Hal.  I was blessed to have met Rik through Laura and enjoyed every minute spent with him the few times I saw him. He was a kind loving character and will be missed by all. May you all find the peace you know Rik would want you to have.

I love you dear Riky I know you are with your father and son so I'm happy for you but sad for me I'll always love you. Ma

My song for you will never change.  "Always Be Together" Little Mix.

Uncle Rik, it's going to be really hard to read any fiction book, watch once upon a time, and even watch a movie that was first based on a book.  I did all of that with you, it's never going to be the same, but I know you will always be there with me.  I won't have to wait for the three text messages after once upon a time, until you say goodnight, because you will be sitting right next to me when I watch it.  I'll never forget the time we saw the hunger games together and you left the car running the whole time. The one thing you said to me and David was "Don't tell Hal!" I love you, miss you, and I'll see you again.

Dear family, I'm sorry for your loss.  May you draw close to the god of all comfort during this difficult time,  James 4:8

Rik you will always be forever in my heart you have been the best big brother a girl can ask for Ill never forget when you took me to my first play it was Annie I enjoyed it so much and you told me you were going to be Daddy Warbucks in a play you were doing somewhere and you came to one of my cheerleading games right after you shaved your head and when I saw that I was like oh my god and all my friends kept asking me if my brother had cancer I was about 12 years old having to explain to my friends my brother is Daddy Warbucks. I promise to be there for  Hal just as you were for me and my children Samantha and David lost a wonderful uncle in body but we know your still with us in spirit I love you very much and will still be calling on you for spiritual help see you big brother
