Our hearts break from the passing of MOgang member Richard Riedel

[boomerkc]

that you meet in life and remember. Dick didn't care if he knew you or not, he always had his infectious smile and willingness to help anyone do anything they needed done. There will be a void at Spyderfest and MoGang gatherings without Dick. If I can be only a small amount of the person Dick was, I will consider myself to be successful in life.

Prayers and positive thoughts to Dick's family and Spyder family.

From NY !!!!!!! Sad..........................

I met Dick at SF 2013. We kinda hit it off right away. He was on the Vets Ride that year, I think as a sweeper(?). We talked quite a bit over the next couple of days about military service, his missions and of course Spyders. He was truly a nice guy and a gentleman. I know he will be missed, especially by the MoGang, and we who've had the pleasure of meeting him. There will be a void at SF 2015. Now he is again joined with Marna to celebrate life eternal.

I will miss his smiling face. I see from his obituary that he was a Leap Day baby maybe that was why he was so young at heart. RIP Dick.

Aww. 😥 I'm sorry to hear this, terrible news. When my wife and I met Dick at Lamont's in 2012, he had sensed her nervousness, being with a new group of people, and completely out of her element, and really made it his mission to make her feel welcomed and comfortable. I'll forever be grateful. My condolences to Dicks family, the MoGang, and to everyone that called Dick a friend. God speed, Bro. Rest in peace.

Sad news, Teddy & I will keep his family and loved ones in our thoughts and prayers

[adlereins]

I didn't know him, but your comments are all a testimony to the kind of man he was. My condolences to you and his family

[ValCruzSpyder]

Even though his time among us on Earth has come to an end, from the comments, his Infectious Spirit lives on in all who crossed his path. Although I was never blessed in meeting Richard, I wanted to share a simple image a friend sent to me and my wife during our time of loss. It brought us a sense of peace and understanding. May you Rest in Peace in HIS loving embrace.

Hubby and I got to know Dick at FlamingoBabe and HotGlue's BBQ. The three of us had a long lunch down in Galveston. He taught us how to live life to the fullest and don't let the small stuff get you down, no matter how big it is.

Thank you Dick for touching out lives. You will never be forgotten...

I'm sorry for the loss of your friend. Condolences to his family and friends. There seems to be a lot of this going around lately. We lost two members of my GWRRA chapter last month and my mother passed in May.

Dick was a great person with a huge heart who never met a stranger. He will be missed by many. He and his family will be in our thoughts.

I met Dick prior to Lamont's picnic in 2012. We were staying at the same hotel. He came out one morning and saw me wiping my Spyder off. He came over, introduced himself and brought his bottle of cleaner and started helping. Then every time he saw me at other Spyder events he made it a point to come and say hi. He always made me feel welcome!

[Cruzr Joe]

So sad... such a happy guy! Always a smile and a joke or funny story!RIP
