Richard Glenn Abell Jr.

Dear Chris, Erica and Dori.
,My sincere sympathy and prayers to all.
Remembering our happy days at St. Anselm Parish! May your faith and
Hope in the Risen Lord Jesus. Be a source of strength! Know that you are each in my prayers!

In the summer of 1972, I worked in a railroad scrap yard in East St. Louis. I carpooled everyday with two of my cousins and Rich.
It was dirty, hot and sometimes dangerous work but then again, we were poorly compensated.
I moved away that September and never saw or spoke to Rich again. However, I will always fondly remember that summer because of the time I got to spend with my friend Rich.
My condolences to his family.

Just learned this morning of Richard's passing. He was a good friend and really made my day when he would show up with his tremendous personality and glowing smile and unique laugh. Rest in peace Richard, for you will be missed greatly by many, many people. You made all of our lives better and happier.

Abell Family and Christy, my deepest sympathy for the loss of this good man. He was taken way too soon.

To the family, I'm so sorry for the loss of your love one, may the loving support of your family, friends and prayers sustain you through this very difficult time. Isaiah 57:15

Christy,
So sorry to hear about Richard. He was quite a guy. Always made me laugh. Fond memories.
We cannot share a sorrow, If we haven't grieved a while. Nor can we feel another's joy, Until we've learned to smile.

In my thoughts and prayers.

Kathy,
Sorry to hear about the loss of Dicky. I have fond memories of us at the farm. He was so much fun and what a personality! Thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Im so sorry to hear about your loss. I send my deepest condolences. May the God who "binds up the brokenhearted" and "comforts all who mourn" strengthen your family during this difficult time (Isaiah 61:1,2)
