Not sure what to say?

My family met Dick and Bobby and their parents Peg and Claire in the early fifties. We all went to Cavalry Memorial Methodist Church and lived on 14th street a house or two away. Through the years of sunday school, church, youth group, scouting, Dick, his brother and their parents, in my mind, were synonymous with Calvary. Fast forward to 2018, unbeknownst to us, we were neighbors once again. Dick was still the friendly, kind person I'd gotten to know years ago. Prayers for strength to...

Dear Elaine and family, I was so sorry to read of Dick's passing. Bob always talked so well of him and always enjoyed teaching math with him in Easton. May he rest in peace with our Lord. Deepest sympathy. Colette Fisher

Kristie, I was saddened to read about your father´s passing. He was a kind and gentle man and I know you will miss him. You have lots of great memories. My condolences to your entire family

My sincere sympathies and thoughts to Kristie and her family. He was a vibrant and caring man. Sending hugs.

To the Bath family, A WONDERFUL neighbor and a true friend is Mr. Bath. We are so blessed and honored to have known this man and we will miss him more than words can say. ...."til we meet again!" Your grateful friends, Kathy and Ed Black

I knew Richard when we were kids in Sunday School class and choir at Calvary Memorial Methodist Church. We became reacquainted when I worked at a doctor´s office. He was a nice kid and became a nice man. So sorry for your loss.

I would have never made it through Math without Mr. Bath. It got to the point that I needed a tutor, and the Guidance Counselor recommended Mr. Bath to my mom. She called him, and he became my tutor from 7th grade until I graduated. He really had a special way about him to get his students to understand Math, and I look back on the time spent at his kitchen table with him & Kristie fondly. He will be missed very much, and I'm a better person for having known him.
