Worked with Richard at the Weather Bureau in Detroit in the late '60's. Was fortunate enough to meet his mother and am the proud owner of one of her paintings. It was a joy to know both of them.

Richard was a great man! He was the quintessential optimist and a devote follower of The Lord. Anyone who knew Richard could feel the light of the Holy Spirit within him. He was gentle, caring and always ready to serve and help in anyway possible. With patience beyond comparison....if we all strived to be more like Richard, we would be closer to Christ, The Lord.

We are sorry to hear about Richard...we haven't seen you kids for a long time. We were good friends of Carol's and Don and I were your Children Church Pastors when you were little. I wish we could attend the home going for Richard but know that we will be thinking of you all and praying God's peace during this time.
