Not sure what to say?

Our dearest Elaine, It is with great sadness that we hear of the passing of Richard. Having been gone for the last five years we have not been made aware of his health situation as much as if we would have had we been home. We are sorry for that. However, we know Richard's heart. We know that he would not have it any other way. His greatest desire was always to be serving. In his humble, cheerful, kind and intelligent way, we know that he was serving to the end.
We had a flurry of...

Dear Harris Family,
I was so sorry to hear about your loss. I wanted to share one memory that is always the first thing that comes to mind: One booming voice yelling "Richard, Joseph, Robert!" I am sure you have many happy memories. Thinking of you all.

Elaine and Family,

We will miss him. He was our fine home teacher for a generous number of years and he never missed a month. I'm so glad we got to know him. He always had a big smile and warm concern for our family. He had a powerful side with his soft side as he was always touched by heartfelt experiences and little acts of faith and kindness. I hope he is living it up in the next phase of life.

He is affectionately remembered by our family as "Uncle Dick" with his always ready smile and passion for life and family. I loved his yodel at Lake Powell and have fond memories of many camp trips and parties at the Harris home.i also loved his golf trips to St. George where he and dad and his golf buddies stayed in my home. Much love and prayers to a family I love so much! Kaatje Munnerlyn Wilcox

He was one of the finest men I have ever known. May God bless you with peace.
My love and prayers are with your family.
