Richard E. DeLoach

Pride of a Man:
I don't think that I can say that I've been more proud in the fact that you are my father. You were a young man, in the United States Marine Corps.,ready for all the world's challenges & rewards. The news from the doctors was that you may have M.S. With this news you went to Mom, your wife to be. You may or may not have known what the full outcome of the disease would be, but through an extremely non-selfish act you asked her if she still wanted to become your wife & share...

Hello DeLoach family,
I am so sorry for your loss.I am sure he is in a wonderful place now and watching over all of us. Even though most of the years I knew Rick he was under the grips of M.S, I hold much respect for him and your whole family in the stength you have shown dealing with such a debilitating disease. Rick and Delores raised 4 great children, one of which i am lucky enough to have married. I love you Kate and wish the whole family continued strenght in Rick's absence.

HI Daddy!
I've been thinking of you alot today. I really miss you and can't believe you're gone. I remember the little things, like the way you called me "Squeaky Kate" or your laugh. I hope you are happy. I bet you have probably already started a garden up in heaven. Please look after us all. Give us a sign that you are okay. I love you with all my heart,Daddy. I will miss you.
All my love,
Katie
