Not sure what to say?

Mr. Gray, a dear, dear man. Me was and always will be Mr. Gray to me. He took wonderful care of my property. I never had to call him because he always came by to check and then do whatever needed to be done. He was a dear friend and I have been honored to be his friend. I shall always remember him as a kind and
loving person. It was a privilege to have known him. He loved his family. My deepest sympathies to all, especially his lovely wife Sharon.

I met Richard several times. He was a gracious, strong and Godly man. My mother was one of his customers, and she dearly misses him. All who knew him were blessed by that experience.

Richard, I believe, was one of those men that from a distance easily went unnoticed, content to live a life of strength, peace and faithfulness. He was one of those men who, when "we understand it better by and by," will be seen casting a weighty crown at the feet of his Savior.
