Not sure what to say?

Ive known Richard since we were teens. He and my husband, Dale were best friends and always said they were as close as brothers. We went to school together.
When Dale passed away in 2014 we became close friends; a friendship I will always treasure. We were both hurting. I had just lost Dale and he recently lost his wife, Betty. I didnt know Betty very well but I felt like I got to know her some as I listened to Richard talk about her. I believe it was healing for both of us as we...

This picture of course shows Papa in his all time favorite place, VEGAS!! He loved Vegas so much! He had the best luck, and almost every time got all 7s! Well that might be an exaggeration..<°

This picture pretty much describes everything! This was our relationship right here, always smiling and having a great time. No matter how sad you are or how bad of a day you are having, Papa would never fail to put a smile on your faced

This picture of my papa means so much because the number one thing in his life was family. He loved family more than he loved steak fingers from HEB and Ice Cream. He had the biggest heart in the whole world and was so genuine and loving. You could make a

Prayers and condolences to the Chew family. I was the postman on Cantrell street in Corpus Christi in the 1970's and 80's . I loved our morning chats. Richard and Betty were two of the nicest people I have ever met.

Prayers and condolences to the Chew family. I was the postman on Cantrell street in the 70's and 80's. Looked forward to our morning chats. Richard and Betty were two of the nicest people I have ever met.

My love and prayers go out for you all. Richard and Betty are both fondly remembered. We got to be with them at Jackson reunions occasionally. Laughed alot. Since there were 13 siblings connected to Betty's side of family it was hard getting everyone together. Lots of good eating and fellowshipping when we did. Praying God will comfort you all and give you peace. Love Hugs and Prayers Marilyn Jackson Wells

Howard and Pam Meisner, Jerry and Thelma's son and daughter-in-law

My wife and I are Jerry and Thelma's son and daughter-in-law so that would make me Uncle Richards nephew. Unfortunately we didn't get to spend much time with Richard or his family but what I do remember is him being a fun loving guy with a smile that would light up the room. I think the last time I was able to see Richard was when he came to Vancouver Washington to see his brother Jerry in a rehab center recuperating from a serious leg injury. If I'm not mistaken Richard's daughter and family...

My name is Nancy Jackson Rubinstein (daughter of Melvin & Annie Ruth Jackson). Rhonda, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Dick, as I knew him. Unfortunately the last time I saw him and you and Rick and the rest of your family was at your Mom's funeral.
I remember your Dad while visiting your Grandfather Cliff and Grandmother Leona in New Braunsfel and when everyone would come down to Corpus Christi to have a Jackson family fishing outing. The one story that I have always...
