We loved Brother Richburg very much. He will be missed. I know you are all feeling sad at the separation from him for now. But I know he is very happy being with his family that went before him. I was so glad to see you all yesterday. Our family prayers for comfort and strength are with you.

I feel privileged to have known 'Ernie' as a best friend, counselor and Temple trainer over the past 26 years. A man of real integrity and love for his fellow man; and to know that we will never have to say goodbye but for a small moment in Eternity..... So Long, Pal

If the world had more men as honorable and respectable as Pop, this world would be in a better condition then it is. He loved his family and was an excellent husband and father. He had a very witty, dry sense of humor, I can see that look on his face now, saying I gotcha on that one. I had the honor of calling him my father in law many years ago and loved him dearly. His Pearls of Wisdom came from the heart and always led one in the right direction. He will be missed by all of his family but his memory will always be with us, God Be With You Until We Meet again.
