He will be missed by his wife of 61 years, Joan (Borst); children, Jennifer Boes, Melissa Bolt, Richard Bolt (Solungga Liu); grandchildren, Kelsey (Brent) Williams, Taylor Boes; great grandchild, Grey; sister, Jane (Tim) Gildner; brother-in-law, Tom (Ardie) Moe; and many nieces and nephews. Rich was preceded in death by his sisters, Dolores and Sally; and his faithful Sunday morning coffee crew of forty-plus years.
