I will always have fond memories of my childhood fishing trips.  Uncle Rich showed us all how it should be done.  He was a wonderful example to all of us.  He will be missed.  Love, Jeff, Jackie, Lauren, Emma and Jack

May God bless you Uncle Rich.  You are a great man and I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed growing up so close to you.  I have so many wonderful memories of playing poker, fishing, camping, baseball, and your kindness when I was in the military.  Aunt Eileen, may God bless you and your family and give you comfort.  You and Uncle Rich raised such a beautful family!

My deepest prayers and sympathy goes out to Richard's family.  Richard was a pleasure and a joy to know and work with with. I have never heard a bad word come out of his mouth toward anyone.  He always kept a smile on his face no matter what was going on. Richard will be truly missed by all.  May God bless you all during this time of sorrow.

I've never met a more kind, gentle, thoughtful man than Richard.  He was a pleasure to know and to work with.  I've no doubt that the brightness of that big smile of Richard's is adding brightness to his heavenly home.  J. J. Chastain, Arcadis, CCWS retired. (Marietta, GA.)

My thoughts and prayers are with you during your time of grief.

His smile and sincerity touched the lives of so many individuals and he will definitely be missed. Just know we will reunite with him at the "great reunion" in Heaven.

He is going to be missed. I will pray that you find comfort in knowing he is in a better place than we are.  Bruce Cromer (Cobb Water System Maintenance)

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

May your hearts and souls find peace and comfort.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family.  He was a great guy, a pleasure to work with.  He will be missed.

Rich Kress was one of the most positive individuals I've ever met. I worked with him for a few months prior to his retirement, but I will not soon forget all of the fun and unique things he did at the office. We've lost one of the good guys. May peace be with his family.

Thank-you for helping me when I first started working at Cobb County. I have appreciated your kindness. My thought and prayers are with you and your family at this most difficult time.

MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU IN
YOUR TIME OF SORROW

Words can not express how I feel. Rich will always be talked about here at water system. He was truly a joy to work with. I never saw him with out a smile and a hop in his step. I was truly saddened when I heard of his passing this week. When the news reached the office it fell silent.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of sorrow.
