I wanted to express my condolences to the Sterrenberg family on the loss of your dear father. I have only known him since January 2012, but what an impression he made on me. I work at Senior-Suites as the Social Service and Activity Director and the first time I met Richard he was sitting by Mavis and lovingly holding her hand. In that moment, I knew that they shared a great love just by the way he looked into her eyes. I was priviledged to watch them over the days and would often remark to them how apparent the love still was. He called her his "Sweetie". What a lesson in love that I learned from this dear man. May you rest in peace Richard and we will watch over your "Sweetie" until you meet again. Sharon Arthurs
Richard will be missed by many many people, as he was loved by many of us. we will always remember Richard for the way he was to everyone he knew, a very kind, loving and a wonderful man.. Richard and Mavis will be with me as long as i live, the love and devotion between them 2 is something that most people only can wish for.. love to you all and i wish i could be there for you… Christine
I'm so sorry to hear of Richard's passing, but know he's in good hands with the Lord. Richard was always thinking – about what to do next with his business, what to do that was fun to do with his family, and how to show how much he loved his family. There was no doubt how much he loved Mavis and his sons. I still remember one Christmas day. We were sitting at the table and he decided we should all go to Disneyland the next day. Guess what! We did that! The next morning we all piled into our big green stationwagon and drove down to Disneyland! Oh, what fun everyone had. That was life with Richard Sterrenberg around. Every day was an adventure. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Love, Kathy Lund
I had the honor of being a part of Richard's care team for the last 20 months of his life. Richard was one of the most caring and kind individual you will ever know. You will be missed. Godspeed , Richard.
I had the pleasure of helping take care of Richard for the last 20 months of his life on earth. No where will you find a better man, husband, father and family man. He cared deeply about others and always had a smile for you. I am honored to have known him. Godspeed, Richard.
Richard was a real people person with a smile that could melt butter. He was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather. He had a heart of gold and has left this earth as a child of God. I know you he will be greatly missed.Love and peace to all of Richards family.Doug and Patricia (Waite) Betten
