Kathy,
I was shocked to learn of Dick's untimely passing.  Personally and professionally he represented only the best of mankind.  His inteests in people, nature, and science were deep, varied, and sincere.  I feel truly blessed and honored to have known him.  He will be deeply missed.  My deepest sympathy to you and yours.

Kathy, just heard of Dicks passing, he will be missed by all who knew him.My sincere sympathy to you and your family, he was one special man.

To the Priem family,
    I was saddened to hear of Dick's passing today. Although I haven't worked with Dick for a number of years, he was certainly a character you wouldn't forget! He was a superb engineer and I think he had the best understanding of  what went on inside a rocket combustor than anyone inside or outside of NASA. I also admired how he would take on anyone regardless of their position if he thought their technical arguments were lacking. Although mine was mostly a professional relationship with Dick, I also suspected he had a pretty big heart.
       I wish to extend my deepest sympathies from me and my family.
                             Kevin Breisacher and Family

We were very saddened to hear of Dick's passing.  May all of your good memories keep the family going through this difficult time.  We really enjoyed his company when he came to Michigan for the winter ice fishing at Dick Knoll's place.  He will be greatly missed!!!

Dick was a caring brother to his sister, Jane (my wife, who he's now joined), as well as a treasured uncle to my children. We will carry indelible memories of his quiet professional competence and skill as well as his exemplary devotion to his family. We've lost a man most admired.

I shared a NASA office with Dick in the 70's and I remember those days well. Our 'discussions' on any and every topic, technical or otherwise, were most interesting! Dick always kept you honest with your own 'frigid' opinions and world view. He was a highly respected engineer, an expert in his aerospace field with a distinguished career.
Richard Priem was a good man who you will always remember.
May the Lord grant him eternal peace.

Please accept our heartfelt condolences on the loss of your loved one.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

 

Dick was a great guy.  Always fun to be around.  He'll be missed by everyone who knew him.

Bill and I are so sorry for your loss.  Mr. Priem was a wonderful and caring friend to our Dad and I know he will be greatly missed.  I hope your wonderful memories help you through this difficult time.  You are in our thoughts and prayers.
