We and the world will miss Richard, as it was a blessing to have known him as I grew up in the community. He was a true gentleman that set the standard for many a person. I remember the last time we spoke and recall he was on the way to see his daughter and family, His voice and face were truly happier when he talked about it. Heaven now has another angel.

I will always remember my talks with your dad at the Bank. He was such a kind and sweet man. He truly loved you, Adams, and was so proud that you were his daughter. You were a wonderful daughter to him. He was always smiling and shaking his head at Angela's endless energy. It was her energy that often kept him going and left him with no dull moments. He loved Gary as a son and always looked forward to their "Grit Ruritan Breakfast". Adams, even though I'm not there with you now, you and your family have been in my thoughts and prayers all day. I know it was such a difficult day for you, but I also know how strong you are, too. You know you did everything you could possibly do for him. I will be back soon and will lend a helping hand. I will be ready to go with you back to Wytheville whenever you are ready. I love you Eades
