We´re so sorry to hear of your Dad´s passing. I´ll bet he is up there in heaven sharing a good time with my Dad. I will miss seeing his smiling face.

Sorry Scott for the loss of your father. I remember the first and times I ran into him at the dealership and he´s always had a smile and something comical to say.he had a great long life.bless you all.

We are so sorry for your loss. Richard was a true humanitarian who cared for others more than himself. I give credit to him for leading me to God and helping me to quit smoking. A big loss for all of us who knew him.

Recalling childhood memories of living next door to the Baum family in Carlock and attending Carlock Mennonite Church. I loved hearing Dick playing the marimba! Regretfully, we aren´t able to attend your dad´s services. We extend our condolences to Steffi, Scott and their families. May God grant you peace and comfort.
