Lt Richard J. Kocher

It is with the greatest of sadness that we start this contribution page. Early Saturday morning on May 28, 2016; Lt Richard J. Kocher’s youngest son Theo passed away after a brief illness connected to a liver issue. There are no words to console the Kocher family during their time of mourning, yet we as his second family need to act. After approval from leadership, this contribution page was started as a way to show our support for Lt Kocher during his time of need.


The sky is filled with Angels
With puffy lacy wings
The remnants of God's beauty
With treasures they now bring

Each one of them a Guardian
That travels in the sky
To watch throughout eternity
Their parents from on high

Smiles that come from Angels
They fall like crystal rain
Eases earthly burdens
Lifting all life's pain

Halos so astounding
They glitter gold each day
Following their loved ones
In such a perfect way

Wings in gentle breezes
That fall from up above
Kissing every parent
With everlasting love

Angels soar through heaven
With everlasting light
Looking down from heaven
Saying their "goodnights"

Kissing all who loved them
So gently on the face
This life's tender mercy
Each parent can embrace

Wings and shiny halos
Travel from on high
Surrounding all their loved ones
They never say good-bye.
