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.

Golden Valley리치 창업자님 꼭 한번 뵙고싶다는 꿈이 아직 제 꿈보드에 사진과 함께 있는데 너무나 갑작스런 소천에 눈물이 앞을 가립니다.
창업자님의 비전과 철학이 한국이라는 땅에 제 가슴에 저의 집안에 들어온 이후 줄곧 저의 멘토이자 스승님이었습니다.
