Irene:

Cheryl and I just learned of your loss the other day when catching up with Elena Madden. Rick was such a wonderful man.  He and I often talked outside the gallery as he was walking your little dog. We had no idea he had passed and feel like bad neighbors for not sharing our condolences with you sooner. We are so glad to have you in Beuafort full time.  We will miss him.

With deep sympathy,

Warren and Cheryl Hunter

Irene,
Blue and I have just now heard of your  loss. We are terribly saddened for you in hearing this. Rick raised the bar on how to treat people, and especially other gallery owners, with compassion and kindness... a true gentleman in every sense of the word. Our thoughts are with you, always.
Lynn and Blue

Dear Irene,
Mother has often spoken of your lovely
family, and Billy joins me in sending
our deepest thoughts and prayers at this time.

I considered Rick the perfect southern gentleman,  looking the part as well as living it.  My introduction to Rick was through the art galleries in Columbia and Beaufort.  We lost touch but I am so happy to have known him.  My condolences and to Irene and the family.

Irene, we just learned of Rick's passing and cannot tell you how sad we all are.  Rick was one of the sweetest people on earth and you two were one of the cutest couples I've ever had the pleasure of meeting.  We will miss him terribly at the beach, as I know you all will.
Love, your Fripp neighbors, The Mooreheads

Irene, My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.  Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you here in Beaufort.  Janet Deaton

Richard was one of my best friends in college. I kept in touch with him after college and did some business with his gallery as he helped in restoring damaged artwork. Richard intoduced me to the "bowtie" in college. He was a class act and his humor and love for the beauty in life will be missed. Blessings to his wife and the family.

Irene, we are just back from vacation and learned of Rick's passing.  This is a tragic loss and our hearts go out to you, Richard and Pinckney.  He was such a fine gentleman and contributed so much to the art community - he will be sorely missed. It was our pleasure to have known him all these many years and if there is anything at all we can do for you please don't hesitate to let us know. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

So sorry to hear of Rick,,thoughts are with you all.

Vicki and I extend our deep sympathies to you on this sad and sudden event.  Our prayers to you and all your family.

Irene-

Jan had the antique table we bought from the consignment store next door to the gallery delivered this morning. They told Jan about Rick and she couldn't believe it. I can't believe it either, and just checked the obituaries to sadly find it to be true. We are both so shocked and upset about Rick's passing. I don't know of a finer gentleman, businessman and friend to so many than Rick. We are deeply sorry with this news this morning. Please feel free to reach out to us if there is anything we can do for you and the family. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Scott and Janet Helton

Irene, I just found out about Rick. Called Hee. She also did not know. I am very sorry. Chris

I am so very sorry for your loss and send my deepest sympathies during this difficult time. Pinckney and the entire Simons Family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Irene,
Tommy and I didn't want to believe when Nick told us of Richard's passing. Like Richard, we share memories of those wonderful Clemson days and the pride we all have for our sons and daughters. We feel truly blessed that our paths have crossed and we met this wonderful man.  Richard and Pinckney, your Father will always be with you.

Love to you all,

Melanie, Tommy, Nick, and Jessica Gibson

Irene,
So sad to hear of the loss of Rick. What a wonderful man. I always enjoyed our chats when he came to the bank. He was the perfect southern gentleman.Always a smile.
May God give you peace.

Irene:

I just found out tonight from a friend in Columbia that Rick had died this past Sunday. Please accept my deepest sympathy and I will keep Rick in my prayers.

John and I send our love and prayers to you and your family at this time of such a great loss. I will be forever grateful that I got to know Rick and find out what an amazing person he was. Kind, gentle, funny, and a gentleman, are just a few of the things I found so endearing in him.
Bless you and your children in these hard times.

Irene. I was saddened to hear of Rick's passing. I have fond memories of off shore fishing trips with Rick and Manley  Hutchinson.    David Kinder

Irene, this is truly unexpected bad news.  The lose of Rick is a blow to all his many friends and to the whole state.

Irene,
I am so sad to hear about Rick's accident and passing.  He was a wonderful person and we will miss him greatly.  I feel very fortunate to have visited with you and Rick last September in Beaufort.  Our sweet memories will keep him close to us always.
