Not sure what to say?

What a great guy Dick was. I can't remember not knowing Dick because of my cousin Ola Mae, his wife. Ola Mae, Vonda and Chuck, Warren and Jeodesa, and those precious grandchildren---how sorry we are for your loss of your husband, dad, and granddad. You will always treasure the memories of all the good times you had being together. Remember we love you and are praying for you.
Your cousin and cousin- in- law, Shirley and Ron Stewart

I am so sorry for the loss of your dear loved one. It's comforting to know that God cares for all of us. The Bible gives us hope that one day we can see our loved ones again. On behalf of all mankind Jesus surrendered his soul. John 15:13 says “No one has love greater than this, that someone should surrender his soul on behalf of his friends.” Truly I am sorry to hear of the loss of your dear loved one and I hope these few words will bring you comfort and hope.

Richard and Ola have been lifelong friends and I cannot begin to express our sadness in his passing. Over the years he has brought laughter, love and great moments of new thought into my life. Richard supported us in every way and often went above and beyond to show his friendship. He had a deep committment to God and his church. His family was the center of his world and he will surely be missed by all who have the privledge of calling him friend, Father, husband or Grandfather.

I came to know Richard through our common Masonic work. He with Guadalupe Lodge am I with Hesperian Lodge. He was a great man and brother.

I have known Mr. Coykendall since I was a little girl growing up across the street from him and he always had a smile on his face. I also loved his infectious laugh. Vonda, Warren, and Ola Mae, my thoughts and prayers are with you in this time.

Mr. Coykendall, was my supervisor at the Orcutt post office for a year before he retired. He was always fair and understanding with me. Condolences to the family...Lora Toles

I will miss sitting in front of Richard every Sunday. Plus seeing him at work every couple months. I will be out of town on Saturday and won't be at the service, but my thoughts and prayers are with you, Ola and your family.

Mr. Coykendall was my Supervisor, various times, at the old Post Office (Cypress) and the few times at the Orcutt Post Office. He always was willing to help me and give me direction during the start of my Post Office career. Plus, i enjoyed the times he would bring donuts in the morning for the early crew at the Post Office. My prayers are with you Mrs. Coykendall and your family during this time.
