Victor and Bonnie Reddick
Rich has been a dear friend since 1969, beginning when we were serving in the U.S. Army together at Fitzsimmons Medical Center in Aurora CO. That is 50 years ago and is hard to believe. While we were at Fitzsimmons Medical Center Rich and I were in the same barracks; but he rarely slept there, although his bunk and locker were always ready for inspection, as he was secretly living off base. What I found out later was that Rick lived off base with friends at a house on Josephine street right near the Denver University campus. Living there versus in the barracks was, without question, a much better situation. Rich was in the finance group at Fitzsimmons and I was a Radiologic Technologist (X-ray Tech). We both had similar hours to work so one day Rich asked me if I would be interested in living off base at Josephine House. My answer was quick, YES! 😊 So, our friendship began and developed over the years.
Rich was my best man at Bonnie and my wedding in 1976. And I thank God for it, as were getting married out side at Mount Vernon Gardens in Washington Park and the sprinklers came on shortly before the ceremony. Rich jumped into action and found a grounds keeper and low in behold everything went perfectly. Now, almost 43 years ago this June, Rich saved the day!
Although later in my life my career took me away from Colorado with several corporate moves, Rich and Chris have always been dear to us and wish now we would have seen each other more often. I will miss Richard Kuna a lot and know how hard it must be for Chris too. God Bless Rich and my he Rest in Peace. And our prayers go out to Chris and his friend and family as well but know Rich is in a better place and is no longer suffering from the body that was failing him.
God Bless you my FRIEND!
