We will miss Richard and the friendly demeanor he had before he became ill. We already miss the way he would decorate his yard according to the holiday at hand. He is at peace now, no worries, no cares but truly missed.

Richard, So sorry to hear of your passing. I just wish I would have come to visit you more often. You passed on the day which would have been Maribeth's birthday. You were always special to me and I enjoyed boating with you back in the late 60's and early 70's. I also enjoyed our visits when I was able to come to see you. I will always remember you and the fun times we had. Love, Julie

Richard was a good neighbor. We shared many stories about gardening, house upkeep, and the world in general. His energy and attention to his never-ending projects was an inspiration, and he will be missed.

I'm so sorry for your loss. my condolences to the family. I know it can be hard sometimes. I lost my father and I would like to share with your family what helped me. I went to prayer and the bible. The scriptures say at Philippians 4:6,7- "by means of prayer, let you petitions be made known to God;(7) and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding guard your heart." We have this gift of prayer to help us in hard times. "Because he cares for you"- 1 Peter 5:7. So when your alone, God is with you. Pray for peace and our Grand creator Jehovah God will help you. And we have this promise of "the resurrection" to look forward to from Acts 24:15. May you find comfort from the Bible, and talking to God.
