*I am so sorry for your loss. My memories of Richard of when we were children but it seems he grew up to touch many lives. Take comfort in knowing a piece of him will be held in so many peoples hearts. Wishing you all strength to get through this horrible loss.

*'ve finished life's chores assigned to me, So put me on a boat headed out to sea. Please send along my fishing pole For I've been invited to the fishin' hole. Where every day is a day to fish, To fill your heart with every wish. Don't worry, or feel sad for me, I'm fishin' with the Master of the sea. We will miss each other for awhile, But you will come and bring your smile. That won't be long you will see, Till we're together you and me. To all of those that think of me, Be happy as I go out to sea. If others wonder why I'm missin' Just tell 'em I've gone fishin' by Delmar Pepper

*Bro. Richard was a man of God. Human, of course, but always had such a sweet spirit. He will be missed here on earth but heaven is a little brighter.
Greg And Lynda Miner of 220 Jones Rd, Shawnee Ok 74801 ~ May 16, 2018
*Richard was the best Pastor/Preacher we have ever had the privilege of serving with. He loved our Lord and put him first in his life above all else. We loved him deeply and will miss him more than words can say. We are heartbroken at his passing.
