Rev. Richard Kinsey Avery

We were such good close friends in Santa Fe and worked together on the Interim team at Westminster Church. He married our son and daughter-in-law in our home in Santa Fe. I look forward to our glad heavenly reunion.

We sang Dick Avery and Don Marsh's music, and they held a workshop, at the First Presbyterian Church when I was growing up in Glens Falls, NY. Their influence broadened my understanding of faith and spiritual life. I was happy to get to know Dick and Don a little when they moved to Santa Fe. They both made so many people's lives better, and their music is a lasting legacy to the love they gave to the world.

I was sent to Rev, Averys church via a mumbled invitation of a teenager to attend his confirmation, After the first service at First Presbyterian in Port Jervis, NY, church and worship were never the same for me, He helped me see God in wider and deeper dimensions, as more loving and forgiving, in more intense and brighter colors and in more lovely art and music, I watched in awe as he treated each congregant with the same respect and dignity, He helped each one find a place to serve and...
