OBITUARY: The Pentecostal Evangel, July 14, 1968 (www.missionfinder.org)
Raymond T. Richey, 74, of Houston, Tex., went to be with the Lord Apr 22.
Brother Richey was one of the most widely known ministers in the Assemblies of God. He was ordained to the ministry in 1914 by Elders Arch Collins and E.N. Bell. He was founder of the Houston Evangelistic Temple and served as its pastor for many years. In addition to this, Raymond T. Richey was an evangelist used of the Lord in a most miraculous ministry to inspire faith, and literally thousands were healed and led to Christ in his campaigns. His ministry among servicemen also met with outstanding success.
Brother Richey is survived by his wife, Eloise, and a daughter Rae Marie Hulme whose husband, James W. Hulme Jr., is a pastor in Houston.
The funeral was in Evangelistic Temple, Houston, of which W.A. Wilkerson is now pastor. Approximately 1,000 people attended. All the pallbearers were ministers who either had been led to the Lord by Brother Richey or had gone into the ministry from Evangelistic Temple. In addition to this, the choir was filled almost completely with sisters and ministers' wives whose call to the ministry to some degree at least resulted from contact with Brother and Sister Raymond Richey. The South Texas District was represented at the funeral by Superintendent W.S. Graham, Assistant General Superintendent Bert Webb of Springfield represented the General Council.
A number of other ministers participated in the funeral service.
