I am sorry to hear of Richards passing. He served the citizens of our community as a firefighter and was always a soft spoken gentleman. Barbara and his family are in our prayers.

Richard was a gentle giant of a man with a smile that warmed your heart. He exemplified Micah 6:8, walking humbly with his God. He was adored by his wife, Barbara and will be missed by all who knew him. I will miss his smile and sense of humor.
See you later Richard!
