Richard Gundry Jennings Jr.

My Mom worked for Mr Jennings at his office in Asheville and my grandmother worked at his house for many years. I got to fish at his trout farm as a child and that started my love of fishing! He was one of the kindest and most down to earth people you would ever meet. Remember seeing him walking around Biltmore in overalls and saying theres Mr Jennings but he always took the time to stop and chat He was a big part of The Moody family. I am so glad to have known him!

The staff at FRS Asheville will miss seeing Mr. Jennings in our store. He was a wonderful and kind man who always asked about Leon & Bill when he came in and wanted an update on them. He was witty, humble and always so positive. We will miss his wonderful smile and those stories. Our hearts go out to his family. We are honored by the rich story his life told and a special legacy he leaves behind!

He built his mink farm in the beautiful valley in Cashiers. He taught himself by trial and error to raise minks, whose fur was desired by the best furriers. He fed them trout to enhance their fur quality. When minks became politically incorrect to wear, he turned to the trout that he was already raising. Raising trout became his lifelong challenge. He supported his family and pioneered...

STewart Spragins sends his condolences to the Jennings family.
He was a good, long time friend - a good and fine man.

Mr. Jennings - you were one of the most interesting, bright and value driven people it has ever been my honor to know. Thanks for the things you taught, modeled, produced, and gave to me and so many others. I will miss that distinctive face, those powerful eyes and that extraordinarily deep insight. Your echo will continue in the powerful touch you have left on your very special offspring - and so many of the rest of us.
