Lan Page wrote a sympathy message

“What can I say about Dick. He was like a brother to me when we went to college at Chadron. We were in classes together, Eagleairs. Jazz band. He got me through brass class and conducting. I helped him through music history (those brutal analysis papers).. Dick was brilliant, funny and had a tremendous musical gift. I adored Dick, Jane and Chris. How can you not love a Rischling? And Gretsch! She lights up a room by her mere presence. My sincere condolences to loved ones. Lanny Page”
