  1. Richard was a wonderful and a faithful man of God! He was a willing and kind leader in service for our Lord! Appreciated working with him in Linden. Our thoughts and prayers are with Lillie and family during this sad time. Know that Sunday is coming! 1 Thessalonians 4: 13 – 18. Blessings

  2. Dad Richard was a loving husband and dad/stepdad. I will miss him in my life! He thought it okay as a man to say, ‘I love you’, and although he didn’t feel well much of the time with Parkinson’s Disease, he sought to show love and to honor the Lord and to care for my mom. Looking forward to being with him again soon in Heaven, where we will get in our lost summer visit.
