Dear Mary Lou,
My sympathy on the loss of your husband Dick. May you find some comfort in the beauty of the season and the condolences of friends.

Dear Mrs. Ringenberg, Todd, & Marie:

My memories of growing up with Mary Beth include Mr. Ringenberg's quiet and thoughtful demeanor. Perhaps my favorite memory is a trip to Michigan (Michilinda Lodge, perhaps?), dinner with you & Mary Beth wearing her very best "dress jeans" (that one really cracked Mr. Ringenberg up) and waterskiing. Such happy days!

I know you will miss him dearly and
I will keep him, Mary Beth, and dear David in my prayers.

I worked with Dick for many years at Sara Lee and spent several hours with him this past November 19th when we had a Tax Department alumni reunion. I gave him a ride back to Wheaton and we had a wonderful 45 minutes getting caught up on the years. On of the things that I like best about Dick was his intelligence. In the old days, we used 14 column worksheets and if the initials RR were at the top, one could be certain that what followed was logical, concise, and well organized. Rcik trained us well and one needed to be prepared when you spoke to him. I loved that he was a runner. He was always a wonderful role model and I will miss him.
