Connie and Charles, I am saddened to hear of your dad's passing. Although no words can really help to ease the pain you must be feeling, know that you and your families are in my thoughts and prayers. Your dad was a great man and I cherish the many memories I have of him. Years may have passed but I will never forget all the good times we had growing up!

Connie / Charles, I first met your dad in Dec 1983 when I reported to work for him at the Ft Sam Houston Telecommunication Data Center. Richard was the best boss in my military career. I learned so much from him. He cared very much for all his troops. We met again in March 2005 when he was my Masonic instructor and together we worked / studied every Sunday at his kitchen table for my EA, FC, and Master's Degrees, which finally concluded on March 21, 2006. June, I know that your husband, my friend, my Mason brother, Richard Adaszczyk is now resting in our Lord's house.

Worked with Mr. Adaszcyk in the 1923 CG. I'm so sorry to hear of his passing and would like to extend my deepest sympathies and condolences to his entire family. God Bless.

Mr A was a tough and fair boss. I was a young Airman at Kelly AFB, TX and he was Army retired. I had deep respect for him. Since that time, when I ran in to him occasionally at Ft Sam Houston, he still had that great laugh. My prayers for comfort and peace goes to his family and loved ones.

Brother Richard was a very important man in my Masonic life. He kept in touch with me even after I had left San Antonio and informed me of Army Lodge concerns for me. I thank him for being in my life and send his family my prayers. Brother Richard, we will miss you. And please check on me every now and then.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you in this time of sorrow. Richard was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, and father-in-law to my son. May you take comfort knowing that God has given him Angel Wings and he's in heaven.
Richard brought so many happy moments in our lives and left us with so many treasure memories. His smile, his laugh, and how he and Grandpo seem to always have wonderful times talking together, sharing their stories time in the service without their earring aids. There will never be anyone quite like him and we will miss him.
May the peace that comes from the memories of love shared comfort you all now and in the days ahead?
God Bless You All.
Love, Madeline, James, & Grandpo

My deepest condolences to the family. May the Lord provide you with the necessary strength at this time. Army Masonic Lodge has certainly lost a pillar and mentor. Richard you will be greatly missed.
Army Lodge will continue to thrive throughout the years to come, because of your commitment and because of all of the lessons that you have taught so many of us. I will miss your larger than life personality and smile. I always knew that the fun was about to start, whenever I saw you walk through the door. You have fought the good fight, you have finished the race, and you have kept the faith.

I am very sorry for your families loss. I have known your dad/husband since we were little. We grew up on the same street with the big rock on the corner :) Richard was always such a sweet man, he always went out of his way to make a person feel special and that he did not to mention all his funny, silly ways he would joke with you. We all grow up and move on but the old neighborhood will always have the best memories!!! Much love to the Adaszczyk family.

God Bless you Mr "A"!!! The Peace of Christ to the Family. Mr A. gave me the biggest break in my career and put me with the best supervisor I've ever had. What a blessing you were to me... I'll never forget you!

To the Adaszczyk family, Mr A was a great man. His "larger than life" personality made coming to work interesting as well as fun. He will be missed.
