Donna and family, sincere condolences to you and family at this challenging time. God's blessing and strength to you all. I was instrumental in the hiring of Rich back in 1979. He was a great guy, participated in many pharmacy social activities, plus helped with various pharmacy projects; and keeping our narcotic counts straight. Rich was dependable, easy going, and was always an encouraging influence to staff. Blessings to all friends and family at this time.

I send my deepest sympathy to the Butikofer family on the passing of Richard. I was a friend of his parents, Rose and Harry, and my mother, Margaret Dennler Sollberger (1911 - 2005) was related to them and attended the same Cheery Valley school south of the Apostolic Cemetery that Richard attended. I send my deepest condolences to all who loved him.

Donna, Sorry to hear of your husbands passing, it sounds like he lead a full life filled with lots of great times and many family gatherings.

You have my deepest sympathy on your loss. I always looked forward to working him with him in the pharmacy. He was always a calm steadying influence and willing there his knowledge with new people. Always the gentle man.
