In memory of Richard M. DeVos
Those leaving tributes vividly recall hearing him deliver one of his famous speeches or treasure his iconic handwritten notes signed “Love ya! Rich.” Or they were so thankful they got to shake his hand, feeling the warmth and sincerity of his greeting as he looked them in the eye. He is described as a cheerleader for the human spirit. An incredible visionary. A giant. A teacher. An ambassador. A true American hero. An ideal entrepreneur. A father figure. A motivator, dreamer and champion. The personification of humility. A philanthropist. The model of servant leadership.
突然の悲報に接し、ただ驚くばかりです。もうあの笑顔にお会いできないのかと思うと、悲しくてなりません。在りし日のお姿を偲び、心よりご冥福をお祈り申しあげます。日本のAmwayを盛り上がる為、
益々努力して参ります。
それくらいしかあなたに恩返しする術が無いのです。
天国よりお見守り下さい。
