I received this email from Pam Kirkwood BHS 1964:
Last Friday, April 16, 2010, Rick Mehling passed away at his home due to complications of cancer. In the following weeks, after cremation, his ashes will then be distributed by family members. Betty has requested this event to be a family affair only.
On Sunday, 23 May 2010, there will be a memorial service for Rick at the Burbank Fire Department Training Center, to start at 10:30 am. This service will be non-religious, a casual celebration of Ricks life.
A buffet lunch will be severed after the service.
RSVP's are requested by 10 May 2010, and should be sent to:
Robert Lanning, lanningfam@sbcglobal.net or
BC Tom Lenahan, tlenahan@burbnk.ca.us.
After short eulogies by Betty, family members, Chief Krakowski, Davis and Walbert, the floor will be open for remembrances.
Pictures of Rick are requested for a video montage and should be sent Bob Lanning,
In lieu of flowers, the family agrees that Rick's preference would be contributions to
Firefighters Quest for Burn Survivors, 1146 N. Central Ave. #398, Glendale CA 91202-2506,
an organization that Rick proudly held a position on the Executive Board and happily volunteered for them until his diagnosis made him unable.
