Richard A. "Pepper" Pond

Dear Betsy, Although I didn't know your brother, I know that you loved him very much. He looks like you and your Dad, who I had the pleasure of meeting. I am so sorry about Pepper and I will keep him in my thoughts. Love you.

Dear Betsy, Sally and Lori

Please forgive me for being unable to attend Pepper's services. I was there via text and Linda filled me in on an hour-long phone call last Monday.

I thought of you all during the day Saturday, have mentally revisited all of our meetings in VA and NJ and hope you have found some peace with what has happened.

Please be in touch, as you wish.

Love, Paula

Dearest Pepper,

It is with a heavy heart that I write this message because it means to me that you are really gone in body. Mostly, I want to thank you for being such a great husband to my sister for so many years!! She sure loved having you around!! Also, opening your many homes to me so many times for holidays and weekends and letting Linda go riding with me and agreeing to let her buy her cowboy boots that day!! Also, for taking the slow roads back to Jersey when returning from...

Lori and Family,

I am sorry to hear of the passing of your brother. May God give you great strength during this time of loss. Prayers as always. God Bless.

This is such a great loss for the extended Pond family. Our deepest sympathies and prayers go out to Linda, his children, grandchildren, Betsy, Sally and Lori. We've lost a cousin we loved dearly and the world has lost a great, spiritual man.

Dear sister, nephew and niece, we are so sorry about Pepper's passing. We love you and will be thinking of you often and missing Pepper. He was a wonderful brother-in-law and part of my life for 43 years. Love, Berta and Gary

Sorry to hear. I grew up with Pepper. His mother and mine were very good friends.
