very sad news.

All of us on the forums are like one big family with many different interests but we have all had one thing in common and that was Dick and Gloria. We all now have a bit of the family missing from inside each and everyone of us. He will be missed but he no longer will suffer. My thoughts and prayers are with Gloria and his family. May you rest in eternal peace and thank you Dick for your service to our country and to each and everyone of us.

Thank you for the many hours of enjoyment you have given me through CSP, the other posters and your stories and sea tales. I have spent many an enjoyable hour here thanks to you and Miz Gloria.

May you be sitting in Valhalla right now with one of your famous egg nogs and many old friends surrounding you.

Semper Fi with respect,

Requiescat in Pace

Major Richard O. Culver Jr. USMC

Dick, it was an honor and a privelege to have known you even if only via telephone. We are diminished by your loss,

May you have Fair Winds and Following Seas on your voyage to Valhalla old Soldier of the Sea !

It was a pleasure to have spoken with you and our charming hostess while you were recuperating in the HoJo. I only wish that we could have done it more often.

My most sincere condolences to Gloria and family. AVE ATQUE VALE and G-dspeed !

It wasn't a surprise but its still very, very sad news. We hope that the thoughts and prayers of so many others are with them is a real comfort to the Culver family.

Now the world is a poorer place. Sad to see such a man pass.

Mrs. Culver, I'm terribly sad to hear of your loss. My wife Dawn and I extend our deepest sympathies to you and your family. I never met nor even talked to Mr. Culver but he surely touched many in our community.

God bless,

Just a quick note to let you all know that Gloria was able to view this thread this morning. I hope she doesn't mind my telling you, but she said that she cried like a baby. I know we all understand.

Semper Fi, Major Culver - once a Marine, always a Marine!

[Dave Waits]

I am at a loss for words. I owe the Major greatly for some pieces of wisdom he passed to me when I first joined this August Forum. The world is a lesser place for his departure. When you get to the Gate Major, just report to the Gunnery Sgt. He'll direct you to a higher spot. Semper Fi!

My condolences to the family.
