Liz, I am so very sorry to hear about the passing of Rick. Rick's mother, and my grandfather were brother and sister. I have very fond memories of Rick (we called him Ricky) and his family visiting when I was a child. Over the years, we've lost touch, but I've often thought about the family. I wish that I could have gotten to know him in more recent years. He sounds like such a very outstanding man. My sincere and heartfelt sympathies to all.

Liz- I am so sorry for your loss. Rick was a smart, witty and strong guy with a heart of gold and a gentle demeanor. I loved his wry, sardonic sense of humor, his ability to pull cool trivia out of thin air and how he put me at ease when we were just getting to know each other. He has obviously touched a lot of peoples hearts and helped to nurture a lot of young minds. He lead a wonderful life and was blessed to have you and Murray by his side. Our hearts are with you.

Dear Mrs. Culp 
I am truly sorry for your loss. Professor Culp was my professor (PAD719) and also my advisor preparing me for enrollment into the PhD Criminal Justice Program. At first I thought of just giving up, but I know this is not what Professor Culp expects of me, so remembering his words of encouagements, I plan to continue my journey to make him proud as he watches over me.

Rick was a great man, a brilliant professor, and an excellent researcher.  I am thankful I had the chance to get to know him as a mentor and friend, and I will always remember his patience and optimism.  He is irreplaceable.

I am deeply saddened by the loss of Professor Culp.  For the short time that I had him as my professor (this semester), he was indeed passionate about teaching and loved what he did.  He was very kind, considerate towards his students and tried his very best to ensure that we understand the material in order to ensure our success.  John Jay has loss a fine educator and mentor. I extend my sympathy to his wife and family and pray that they will find the strength to cope with such a great loss.  Professor you will truly be missed.  Rest in Peace.

Liz,

I'm so sorry for your loss.  I've only known Rick about a year, but I appreciated the experience, strength, and hope he brought to every occasion.  I will miss Rick and feel so lucky to have met him.

Dear Liz;  Please know that our prayers are with you at this diffcult time. In the short time that we have known Rick we truly enjoyed his company.

Professor Culp was a great man and mentor. He was an inspiration to all of his students. May he rest in peace.

Querida Sra. Liz, siento mucho la partida de su esposo. El maestro Culp fue excepcional para nosotros. Siempre atento, preocupado y altamente servicial. Su sublime calidad humana sera nuestro paradigma por siempre.

Rick was a wonderful person.  I had the privilege of working with him for five years. Rick touched so many lives. It was an honor to have known him. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

I knew Rick when he was at Boys Town.  He had great passion for kids and it was fun to watch him channel that energy and passion into teaching and research.  He touched a lot of kids lives and taught us all a lot..

God gives and he takes away. You left a legacy that cannot be erased. Adieu!!!

My prayers go to you Liz and your family, Professor Culp was one of the greatest professors I had ever had. I feel blessed having him as a professor he was truly a happy, humble, intelligent person that will truly be missed.

Liz:  I am grateful that I had the opportunity to meet Rick, and I am so saddened to hear of his sudden passing.  My thoughts are with you and Murray.

Dear Liz,
If almost every nuptial gathering includes a certain joy, your wedding to Rick was an experience of heart warming enchantment. It was abundantly clear that you loved each other very, very much, and I remember thinking the day seemed so bright. I later realized that it wasn't the setting or the sunlight that created that radiance, but rather the two of you. I am still honored to have been the priest who officiated at the celebration of your union. Rick's scholarly, and at the same time triumphant, work has made the world a better place, and the example the two of you are of how deeply one can love illuminates many darknesses. I would be angry with God for calling Rick home if I weren't so grateful that the Lord had shared him with us in the first place. The "road" Rick took makes all our journeys better, and I know you will find the strength, one day at a time, to grieve his loss, celebrate his life, and go on revealing your own magic, giftedness,  and strength. And on the days you don't think you can, we will remind you.

Rick was one of a kind!
He was passionate about politics and the state of mankind.
I worked with him at FSB in Ohio...he made a difference for the kids...and for me.
Rest in peace my friend.

Hello Liz, I was lucky enough to have had Rick as a Professor during my Grad program and work with him at John Jay for the past 8 years.  We were both at the Open House on Sunday.  In all of my memories of Rick, he is always smiling.

Please accept my sincere sympathy in the loss of your loved one   
Sincerely, Professor James Reed-Communication and Theatre Arts, John Jay College of Criminal Justice

Rick was a dear colleague and member of the Department of Public management family. His office, across the hall from mine, made it possible for us to shout quips across to each other. But mostly, when his door was open, it was because he was receiving the many students who came to his door for mentoring and advice. He was generous of his time, his knowledge and his patience with every student. He was a passionate educator and great colleague and mostly, he was a witty, charming man who will be missed for many years to come.

Liz, whenever I think of you guys, I think of Murray and Sophie.  One of the nice things about having a dog, is getting to know other dog owners.  You and Rick were such a great couple, and the fact that Sophie and Murray were brother and sister meant that we got to know the two of you.  We are so sad about the loss of your Rick.

Dear Liz: Professor Culp was an awesome and brilliant man. I pray that God will give you the strength that you need during your time of mourning.

Dear Liz,
Your Ocean Grove neighbors are deeply saddened by the news of Rick's passing.  In the short time we knew Rick we could recognize his helpful, friendly nature.  Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and Murray at this difficult time.

Liz,
My feelings of loss of camaraderie and collegiality pale in comparison to your loss. Rick was truly a gentle man with such an incisive understanding of what was going on around him. He made being with him a joy and so special.

This has been such a shock to our family. Rick was a wonderful guy. It was an honor to know him. You are in our thoughts constantly, Liz. We're here for you.

As a retired former colleague, I saw Rick at conferences and continued my many fond memories. I was so sorry to hear of his passing. He will be sorely missed.
The John Jay community is a sadder place.

May God be with you and your family during this time. I am deeply sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to the entire family. I am blessed to have had him as my professor this semester. Professor Culp Had a beautiful personality that filled the classroom with smiles. He had such a passion for everything he did as well as for the people in his life. I will always remember him as a brilliant man with a beautiful heart. God Bless.

Every time Rick spoke I listened carefully, because he never grandstanded, but you could tell he was listening closely. And he always laughed or made me laugh. His most endearing trait may just have been his extraordinary good taste in choosing his mate. Deepest condolences to all.

Rick was always so kind to me. I am very saddened to learn of his passing.

Dear Liz,

Our deepest prayers are with you and Rick.

May the Good Lord watch over Professor Culp in Heaven and bless you with the knowledge that he will never be forgotten.

Sincerely,
Kelly Yip

Please accept my deepest condolences.  Sometimes death is unexpected . . . .
Our physical death isn't the end, but rather is a step forward into the plan that God has for us, and a time of indescribable joy for the person making the transition.

What an incredible educator and a great loss!  On behalf of the hundreds of students at John Jay College and others connected to his academic journey

Dear Liz,
Michael and I were lucky to have enjoyed Rick's company and are deeply moved by your loss of this wonderful fellow traveler. Your love transformed your lives; have faith that such brightness shines on. Please take good care of yourself now, and let me know if I can help in any way.

Hello Liz, I am so sorry for your loss. Rick and I were classmates during our PhD years and we were also colleagues in Public Management during my years there as an adjunct. Rick has always been supportive, kind and incredibly smart. I am shocked and I will miss him deeply. Sincerely, /Charlyn A. Hilliman

Liz, I'm so sorry for your loss. Richard was an incredible person and teacher, and it was an honor to know him. He will be sorely missed by all at John Jay.

Please accept my sympathy.
I appreciated his behavior as my Professor in 2006.
Hernando Martinez Sacristan  (John Jay College)

Mrs. Culp,

I took Dr. Culp this semester. This semester was where I did all of my classes within my concentration. I chose Criminal Justice and was inspired to write my graduation paper about the inadequate health care prisoners receive. He was a great influence, full of life, and was genuinely kind. He always went the extra mile to ensure his students learned. My prayers are truly with you and your family. I am sorry for your loss and will be remembered.

I first met Rich in 2003 as I was preparing to go to The Police Staff College, Bramshill, UK.  Rich was gracious enough to share his experience at Bramshill which helped me hit the ground running toward a fruitful experience.  He is a JJC/Bramshill Buddy that will be sorely missed. May He Rest In Peace.

Dear Mrs.Culp,
I am a current student of Prof.Culp. In the short time I have known he, made a large impact in my life. I wish I had more time to get to know him, not only in an educational manner (which he had a lot to offer) but also in a personal manner. I will never forget the help he gave me and the wisdom he imparted. 
My G-ds perpetual light shine upon him as he enters G-ds warm embrace and may that warm embrace fill your heart through this tough time.

Prof.  Culp will be missed dearly.  Amazing person!  My condolences to the family.  I am sorry for your loss.  

Anila Duro (John Jay College)

Liz - My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Liz,
I am so sorry for your loss, my prayers are for you and your family during this most difficult time.

Mrs Culp,
I would like for you to accept my deepest sympathy. I am a current student of professor culp and he was also my academic advisor. In the short span of time that I knew him, he has proven to be a great instructor and person in general. He will be greatly missed, and I pray that you will find comfort everywhere you turn. May his soul rest in eternal peace.

My heart breaks for you, Liz. Words cannot express the sadness we feel. The world is a more lonely place today. Please know that our love is being sent to you, your families and, or course, your adorable Murray. Rick will always be in our hearts.

If only words could say what I really feel in my heart for your loss, Liz. I will always remember Rick for his passionate and rich soul, as well as his humor and kindness. Hold on tight to Murray and let those who love you guide you and carry you through this time. My heart and thoughts are with you, my friend.

My heart is so heavy with the loss of such a good man, and beloved husband to Liz.  He was always a pleasure to spend time with, warm and intelligent, kind and fun.  I am acutely aware right now of how grateful I am to have known Rick, and blessed to count Liz as a dear friend.

Dear Liz:  I am so terribly sorry for your loss.  Rick was truly a gem of a man.  His quiet strenth and kindness was always evident and he was a great guy to be with.  We were all lucky to have spent time with him and it was so clearly obvious how in love you both were.  I will say a prayer each day for him and for you and keep you both in my heart.  Love Allison McGoughran

Liz...my thoughts are with you in your time of grief. May your beautiful memories bring you comfort.
