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.
30年以上前からアムウェイとの出会いがあり、今もずっと続けている中で当たり前のようにリッチがいて。リッチがこの世から居なくなるということが受け入れられない状態です！感謝以上の言葉が見つかりません。本当にありがとうございました！
これからもずっとみんなを見守っていて下さい。
ご冥福をお祈り致します。
