Richard Howard Antoine Sr., 93, of Valley View Terrace, Belleville, formerly of Milroy, went to be with the Lord on April 4, 2022.
He was born Aug. 27, 1928, in Clarks Summit, a son of the late Herbert W. and Eva A. (Miller) Antoine Sr.
On Feb. 2, 1953, he married Carrie M. (Grove) Antoine, who preceded him in death.
He was a 1946 graduate of Benton Vocational High School and a U.S. Army veteran of the Korean War.
He retired from Agway in 1991 and was a founding member of Kish Valley Grace Brethren Church. He and his wife often hosted missionary students for CEF summer programs. He was a living example of God's love, leading many to know the love of Christ. He enjoyed playing cards, bingo and shuffleboard with friends and hunting with his father, siblings, and son. His grandchildren cherish memories of going on vacations, and singing hymns and other songs together in the car. "This is my story, this is my song, praising my Savior, all the day long." Now he is singing with Jesus.
