Sally and family. No words can express the sorrow we feel at your loss. The comfort and peace we found comes in knowing he is now with our Father in Heaven and we can't imagine how awesome that must be. No stress,no worries, no pain,no problems, but surrounded by loved ones and we'll all be together in due time.
From that young G.I. who we met in Duluth to the devoted husband,dedicated father, and delighted grandfather that we came to know, Rich was an example of a true Christian man. God rest his soul.
John and I are going to miss this incredible man. He and the family made us a big part of theirs and continue to do so. We are so blessed to have been a part of his life and considered one of his children. We will miss his mischievous smile and seeing him at all the family gatherings.
Sally and family,
It is difficult to find words to express what is in my heart. We have experienced such a sense of community over the past many, many years. I feel so blessed to have known Richard and watched as he walked this life so beautifully. God bless you all.
Richard was a blessing to all who knew him. I loved seeing his smiling face and wondered what was behind the smile. He had the patience of a saint, which I admired in him. I will definitely miss his smiling face.
Dick and I worked at Non-Woven. He and I once traveled to South Carolina to oversee the repair of one our employer's machinery components. I'm sad to have lost a friend.
