Richard always made me laugh. May his spirit be with me forever.
He helped make Tom Kean our Governor and almost got me into Congress
He was a student of mine and challenged me everyday. Thanks for that.
Donna has to be a saint to have endured all his activities .

Donna, my condolences to you and your family.
Rich was a uniquely different individual. One always felt good when Rich was around. He could make us laugh. His smile (sometimes a mischievous smile) was always welcome. I, along with many of his classmates, have many Rich Nedohon stories to remind us of him. I feel privileged that he passed through my life and that, despite not seeing him for many years, we were always friends. He will be missed.

Joan M. and John D. Miller
Joan and I recall meeting Richard early after our move to Traditions at Christiana. Then, Richard appeared in fine health and was certainly in fine fiddle for witty conversation. He was driving a pick-up as we remember and he, chuckling, informed us our back windows opened on to his windows and so don’t get to running around in your all-together just on our account. That memory stuck. Later, we had two conversations in his driveway over how to run an HOA and I found his advice helpful going forward. Donna, Mark, please understand our prayers and concerns that your hours for grieving and recovery be brief even while memories go on forever.
Barbara Wright

Sad to hear of Richards passing. You have my condolences. He welcomed me to saint Augustine having started in my sophomore year and honored me with being best man in your wedding. He would call me on my cellphone usually while driving and laughing as hard as could be causing me to pull over so we both could laugh at our ventures at St. Augustine. My heart grieves with you Donna and sorrowfull for you loss.
