Not sure what to say?

Barbara, I just found out about Richards passing. I am so sorry. He was such a neat guy, and cared so much for Nofal. I was so proud that after you two were married, I could tell my classmates that Mr Hester is my cousin!

Are you still in the house in Upland?

Barb, I am sorry for your loss, 52 years of marriage is amazing. I will pray for you and your family during this difficult time. Cathy Andre (Valencia)

Mr Hester was my cross country coach at CHS in '67-68. He was a wonderful man & had a great impact on my life.

I loved having him for a biology teacher and Jim loved having him for track. Barbara my Dad, Garland Mendenhall, thought the world of you both. Our heartfelt love to you,
Sandy Mendenhall and Jim Francis

Coach Hester was my coach back in mid 70's for track. He was a nice guy. Sorry for your loss.

Our 40th CHS reunion, he was reunited with Ken Fox.

HG & I feel very blessed to have had your husband/father/grandfather in our lives. As a high school teacher, we teased him when he started dating Barbara... he just blushed and smiled. What a wonderful love story. We know he had the best life possible with all of you. Our sincerest sympathies. With love, HG & Gerri (Lindhorst) Smith.

Rich was a valued member of our church. we'll miss him.

We will miss Dick Hester. We enjoyed having he and Barbara in our Dinner 8 Group. He was a valued member of First Presbyterian Church.
