Ken Richards

I had Mr. Richards for four years at Sandy and he was an amazing person, an inspiration to say the least. I have never stopped wondering if he ever got that old BSA motorcycle running. I admired this man for who and what he was. He awarded me outstanding engineering student of the year 1993 and I was possibly an unlikely candidate but he found it so. My best goes out to his closest.

Kathi,
We would like to send our deepest sympathy to you. Ken could not have been a better person. He has done so much for so many people. He actually gave me my first job of typing his tests and notes for his classes while I was in my junior and senior year. When my husband had him for class all he and his friends had to do was gather some geese from the mill and bring them in for your pond. We are truly blessed that we had him in our lives and memories will always be there of what a...

My sincere apologies to your family. I feel very lucky to have had the pleasure of being one of his students, and he was by far my favorite teacher. He will always be remembered forever

My deepest sympathy goes to Mr. Richards family. He was not only a excellent teacher,but he was a great person as well. The time I spent in his class was the most enjoyable of my high school career. I am truly saddened to hear of his passing.

one of my favorite teachers. i will miss you chewy.

I wish I had something deep and profound to say, something that could say just what kind of person he was. He was a teacher that took the time to be a friend. He listened to his students and based what he taught on our plans for the future. He pushed us hard and challenged us to get though it. When we fell behind, he still made us smile. Most importantly, he always asked if I got that big buck after deer season. He was a character, and I'll never forget him.

i graduated in 2003 but never had Mr.Richards as a teacher at Sandy Valley although i would often say hi as i passed him in the halls.he always had a smile on his face and it was a pleasure just for that.i often heard stories from friends of how inspiring he was and if you passed by his room at the right time,you could hear for yourself.my thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.he will truly be missed!

So sorry to hear about Ken. He will be greatly missed by a lot of the G.R.A. members.We all had a lot of good times hunting at the farm with ken. I remember one day last year during pheasant season Ken, myself, my husband Jeff and a couple of other members were hunting and one of the guys shot a bird but his dog could not find it. Ken had his old dog with him and yelled out to us that his dog had found the bird.The last time that I talked to Ken was at the work party and he was saying how...

Kathi,
My sincere sympathy. I think of you often and will more so now.
Take care kid, this is no way to celebrate your birthday.
Love ya,
