Dick, it has been 15.5 years since I last saw your smile and gave you a hug and almost 20 for Marge. Things have changed in this world but the love our families share continue.

Your morales, ethics, accountability continues to grow on the McMahon and Fryhover descendants. Thank you for the love and honor you installed in all of us.

Your girls and Dick and all my siblings were so blessed with two sets of loving caring and involved sets of parents. You, Marge, Jack abd Joanie did good, and your kids and grand kids are doing the same. Love you all Missy
Ps happy birthday next Monday

Our favorite memory of Dick was an April trip down the Smith River. It snowed the first couple of days and then became quasi reasonable. Dick was game for all of it. His only twinge of regret was when an oar slipped the oarlock and made its way surreptitiously and permanently downstream without us. He was introverted for about a half hour after that but recovered. Dick was one of the finest men we’ve had the opportunity to know; we’ll be thinking of all of you as you go through this next part of the journey. With love, Tim and Liz Moore

Kelsi and family~
I am so sorry for your loss. I know he meant the world to you, and I pray that God will heal your heart. I know you will miss him terribly but try to remember the great times you had with him. Cherish those memories and I pray that one day your sadness will turn into a celebration of his life. I love you and please let me know if I can do anything for you.

To the Family of Richard Fryover;
Hello, my name is Roxanne Kasselmann, RN, BSN; I am the nurse at Fort Harrison Veterans Health Administration who cared for your loved one and would like you all to know….I had the great pleasure and life changing experience while taking care of your loved one.
Please allow me to explain; my experience as some of you know was with Hospice of San Diego and I had been away from it for quite sometime, however, it is my field of passion and my gift. Richard brought back all the good feelings and pride and joy that I get when caring for a patient as such. Richard was so peaceful and loving as was his family, how can a hospice nurse not feel your gratefulness. In this I thank all of you. Richard was the instrument God used to change my heart and to leave Fort Harrison. In his last hours God used him. Wow!
The lady who stayed with Richard his final night, was a Blessing in disguise to me. I called her by the wrong name, however, Denise’s husband is aware in whom I speak of. (I believe she was from the McMahon side) This lady is the one who encouraged me to move and full fill Gods Plan for me. She led me to look into researching a hospice she was familiar with in Grand Junction, Colorado. I did as she suggested and was in awe when seeing the hospice house built for that community there. Exactly what I had hoped to have built here in Montana, however, it appears to be a long way off. I want to thank this lady and tell her I may be on my way (ask her to let her friend in Grand Junction please look for meJ). I am in the hiring process now and hope to relocate by September. Please I ask that your family pray for me that Richard’s nurse goes on to serve others in the same fashion as he received, to which I am proud I pulled off in the Government.
God bless you all and never stop celebrating Richards’s life and the wonderful life he brought to others and the strength he had to hold this family together.
Kind Regards,
Roxanne Kasselmann, RN, BSN.
VA FORT HARRISON.

Dick, Denise, Darla, Deah and families,
Words cannot express how blessed I have been to be part of your family! Your mom and dad, Mr and Mrs. Fry, have inspired me every day of my life to cherish family, live a life of service to others, lead by example, and love deeply! So many treasured summers spent camping and floating with all of you are forever etched in my mind! Your mom made the best food and gave the biggest hugs. I loved those popcorn cakes she made for Tom’s birthday every summer! Your dad taught me to fly fish and whittle along with telling me such great stories by the campfire. He still loved me even though I about ruined a mule sale for him one time! OOPS! Mostly, I am forever thankful for their friendship with my mom and dad along with becoming Grandpa Dick and Grandma Marge to my kids. I love you all so much! Toots

Dick was a wonderful mentor and friend to our son. He taught him about wood-working and fly fishing. We enjoyed our visits to Dick and Marge’s home. They were very dear and beloved friends.

Denise, Tim and family. I am so sorry to hear of your Dad’s passing, but apparently he just missed your Mom so much that he needed to be in Heaven with her. I know that you will always remember them both for their love for you,your family & everyone that they met. My prayers for you and your whole family are that God wraps all of you in his arms and eases your pain. You know that your Dad is smiling down on you right now and all he wants to see is that you are smiling right back at him. Again, my prayers and thoughts are with you all.
Love,
John & Betty

I have never met Mr. Fryhover, but the obituary you wrote blessed me tremendously. What a beautiful legacy and what a beautiful way to put it into words. Thank-you, you brightened my day.
