Richard Ephgrave

Oh boy, Dick and I were college roommates at Northern Ill Univ. We entered as 3rd year students, both in the business school. Lots of commonality, and choice of maybe three bars to hit on Friday nights. Dick was exceptional with language and writing, and he could also talk your head off. To family and friends of R.G.E., he was the best. Bill Ferensen

We had such good with you and Linda!

I first met Dick when he was treasurer of Bassett Country Club and I was a Commercial lender at Piedmont Trust Bank. He was a very pleasant , knowledgeable and professional guy and whose honesty truly impressed me. Over the years we worked together at SCORE helping entrepreneurs to start their businesses and I was fortunate to sit on our church finance council with him. He and I embarrassed ourselves at golf , but had loads of fun and laughter. I know these are tough days for you, Linda, but...

We are so sorry for your loss. We remember you and Dick at the many get togethers at the Heath's house and visits to Virginia.

Dick was such a kind man. He was my Virginia neighbor for a number of years. He and his dogs whether it was Brown Dog or Charlie were always friendly and polite to me as well as my own dogs. Dick always had a pleasant greeting every time you met him. I missed him after he moved to Georgia, but now I will miss him forever. My thoughts and prayers are with you Linda, Rhett, and the rest of the family. Mary Ann and Samson

I´m saddened to hear of Dick´s passing. I worked with him at Bassett many years ago and always admired his commitment to the service of others in his retirement. My prayers are with his family during this difficult time.

Being a neighbor and close friend of Dick and Linda I am very sad to learn of his passing. Dick was always there for me and my family. He was the King of Breezewood Road. When we moved in 2006 he and Linda were so welcoming and kind. I have missed them tremendously since they moved to Georgia. I want to send love and prayers to Linda and Rhett and his remaining family!! God bless!!

My deepest sympathy and condolences . I enjoyed working with Dick while he lived here in Martinsville, Virginia. It was a joy getting to know him and learn all about his accomplishments in life especially with helping small businesses.
