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.
Condalances to the family We thank god for you presence on this earth to have touched our lives with this wonderful opportunity.
Platnium
Trinidad삼가 고인의 명복을 빕니다.
영원히 기억하겠습니다.
UISANMr Rich,you are my hero.
