I am so sorry to hear about Uncle Richie. My condolences to the family. Aunt Delores and Uncle Richie were very kind to my brothers and I when we were young. I have many fond memories of my times with them. My favorite memories include time spent with cousins Mary Ann and Katherine Ann. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Sincerely, Sharon Ehrhardt McNitt (Niece) and family

Always had a great time with Uncle Richie and great memories (IE: hauling all that rock to make the pond in the 57' Chevy). Had a great time building that pond. I have many memories of you all through out my life. Dave Ehrhardt (Nephew)

Jan and I will miss both Dick and Dolores. Truly, life is an uphill struggle. Our prayer is that all the Ehrhardt's walk with Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our life.
Blessings to all, Bob and Jan Arnold

My condolences to the family. I have many fond memories of staying with my uncle and his family when I was young. I remember the Flinstones in the garage and Uncle Richie bringing candy when he came home. I spent a lot of time with him and the family as a kid. I was glad I was able to see him a few years back during a visit up north. He will be missed and he and his family will always hold a special place in my heart as I was growing up. You will be missed.
Jeffrey Ehrhard (Nephew), my wife Pam, and son Chase.
