Richard Gordon Payne

We miss you so much Richard..we miss your friendship, your wit and the crazy rides to Santa Barbara..we thank you for those rides to my doctor appointmsnts.
We miss you and the lunches we had at POLO ROCO...and the tapes of Doc Martin that you gave us to watch...You are your families angel now, watching over them...we are too...Love

I have very fond memories of Mr. Payne. Ranging from his Sunday School paper bag puppets, sleep overs, to family vacations to Sequoia and Disneyland. Mr. Payne's love for Christ was not only spoken but was lived by example in his actions. Karen, Diane, Tammy, and Steven, your husband, and father is a great man and will be missed.
God Bless you all.

Never once did I not feel like part of the family I will miss you every day. I see your reflection im my wife Tammy, your other wonderful children and your wife. Thank you for the short time we have had together and we love you.

We were so sorry to hear of your loss. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help at this time.
You will be in our prayers.

While I did not know you personally, I know your daughter. From the woman that she is, I can tell that you were a good and caring man. My thoughts and prayers are with the whole family.

Karen & family,
I wanted so much to be there at the service, Dick and I spent the better part of the last 3yrs on Saturday soul winning together, we had many good conversations about the Lord and Dick talked a lot about his kids, Diane, Tammy & Steven. When he spoke of his kids, I could tell how proud he was of each of them. We all lost a good Godly man, an example for Christ and a good friend. I will always remember Dick during VBS, always up front with the kids singing along, jumping up...

Karen,
Dick was a great example of living for Christ. 1Co 4:2 Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful. He was a good and faithful servant. We will misss him. Praying for you.

Mrs. Payne,
Our hearts and prayers go out to you and family during this time. May God hold your hand through this valley and shower you in His peace. We were priviledged to know Bro. Payne--a gentle man with a huge heart for the Lord.
