Rosanna LJ wrote a sympathy message

“Dear Gebken family - my heartfelt condolences and sympathy for the passing of Richard. I had the privilege of working with Richard during his esteemed EPA career. I remember him for his generosity: he shared his extensive institutional knowledge to junior staff and peers, and how he cared deeply about our Office’s mission. Rarely a day passed without a mention of his love for his wife, children, and grandchildren. May you be comforted by the warm and loving memories of Richard. -Rosanna LJ”
