Not sure what to say?

Our deepest sympathies to Beth and Rich's entire family. The Gilbert class of '53 has lost a great alum.....

Mrs Beth
You and your family are in my prayers.

Beth and Family,

Jane and I were saddened to learn of Dick's death. I worked with him at Henderson from 1967 until you left for CA and have wondered over the years where you were. He was talented and fun to work with. I also remember the fun we had playing poker... many times at your house. This past summer I saw an article in a Greenville News supplement by-lined by a Dick Hughes and called the fellow hoping it was Dick. It would have been nice to have reconnected.

We are...

Al and I will never forget you and the many fun times we had, from high school to the great time we had at our 50th anniversary. May you rest in piece. Love you Joyce and Al

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

May you find strength and comfort from God and peace through the love of your friends and family. James 4:8

Flora & I met Rich years ago at a Pulmonary rehab program. We all had a serious problem. Rich brought humor to every session, we became very good friends. Rich was brilliant & sharp witted, he brought tears of joy with his stories & comments, those same tears are now saddened at our loss. Rich is now at peace, he does not have to struggle to breathe anymore.
God will surely say "Welcome & well done, good & faithful Servent."
We will miss you Rich,
Fred & Flora Emmons

May you lean on God's everlasting arms, and find a peace that passes understanding. God bless you in your time of remembrance.
