Im so sorry to hear Richard passed. He will be missed very much.
So sorry.Prayers for the family. He was a very good man, loving family man and good friend to many. Love to the family.
I have so many wonderful memories of Richard from growing up in the First Christian Church in Mannington. I honestly don’t think about church - without it including him teaching bible school, serving communion or greeting me with a hug. My children have grown to love Richard as well - and my daughter (Jordan) has been asking about him a lot lately. I’m sure heaven will celebrate gaining such a faithful servant to the Lord. He will be missed greatly and my thoughts and prayers are with Judy and their children. Love,
Jackie and Family

Cameron..so sorry to hear of the passing of your grandfather, My heart goes out to you...
Words however kind can’t mend your heartache, but those that care about you and your family share your loss. Richard was one of the “GOOD” guys and was a significant influence in the lives of others in so many ways. We will miss him a great deal. It is difficult to know what to say and do in times like these, but we want you to know you are in our thoughts and prayers everyday, and consider ourselves to be the lucky ones, having known Richard. With Sympathy, Mark & Colleen
