Sad News about Rich Hyams

[erikthewise]

Lisa,

This is too sad for words. Rich's irreverence and sense of fun helped make this board what it is -- and now it will never be the same.

Rich was a character, very bright and witty, and I too will miss him. We will be making our first trip to his beloved OKW in a couple of weeks and I will certainly think of him. You and you daughter are in my thoughts and prayers. My husband and I have both lost our Daddys, it is not easy. Take care of yourselves...Lacee

Lisa, I am so sorry you lost your husband at such a young age. I always enjoyed reading Rich's posts. Our prayers are with you.

My deepest sympathy to you and your daughter. Rich has been a legend on these boards from the early days. He will be sadly missed but wil live on in our memories.

My condolences to you and your family, Lisa. Rich and I battled over the years with the BWV vs OKW threads, but he always made me laugh. From the very beginning on the boards, he came across as someone who loved his wife and daughter very much. I am sorry for your' loss, he will be deeply missed.

Unbelievable is the word. If we on the Disboards are shocked, I can't imagaine how your family must feel. I hope you find comfort in the memories you have of time spent at WDW and in particular, DVC, and in all the sharing that goes on in cyberspace thanks to the boards.

Take care. My thoughts are with you.

I am so sad to learn of Rich's death. I enjoyed his posts so much that I read whatever he posted. Please know that he will be remembered by many people here that he never even met. I wish he could read all of these posts about him.

May God see you through your tremendous loss.

Lisa,

I want to express my heartfelt sorrow to you and your daughter as you deal with your loss. Rich was such an intrisical part of this board, that it is hard for me to imagine us without him. I know that it is probably even more unimaginable for you. May our thoughts and prayers and the love of your family and friends help you through these times. I will keep all of you in my prayers.

Lisa

I didn't know him well but I knew of him from the DVC board and the Debate board. He will be missed.

My family would also like to express our sorrow on your loss.

I always respected Rich's passion and knowledge of DVC. Our loss is heaven's gain!

Please allow me to join in everyone's sympathy to you and your family.

My favorite rememberence of Rich was when someone asked two years ago what the BWV were like during the construction. Rich's answer was beautiful and eloquent. He spoke of no boards being on the boardwalk and people having to skip from rafter to rafter.

His sense of humor was intoxicating.

I am truly sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry that your daughter lost her daddy and that you lost your best friend. The sadness in your heart right now must be overwhelming. We all pray that God may grant all of you the strength to get through this time of your life.
