Richard was a friend, neighbor, and fellow theatre worker. He was well loved in Jackson. May he rest in peace.

I worked with Richard and Therese on many a community theater show here in Jackson. I think of them often, and I'm glad he and Therese have been reunited. I'm sure he was welcomed with "Well done, good and faithful servant!" when he arrived in heaven.

We brought Holy Communion to Richard weekly during his stay at Medilodge. He was a quiet man and a devout Catholic. Richard received Holy Communion around 3:30 on the day he passed away. When we asked if he would like us to bring him Holy Communion the next week ( which we always asked him) he said yes. We will miss him.

I knew Richard from Weatherwax Pharmacy. He would tell us all about his trips to Hawaii to work. He was a very nice and sweet man. He will be missed.
