Richard Lee Ussery

Richard was my roommate while at Wingate College. I have been wondering about him lately and just learned of his passing. So sorry for your loss. We worked together on productions at Wingate where, I think he developed his passion for theater. I looked for him at our 50th reunion a few years back. Richard was a FRIEND.

With apologies for arriving late to the celebration of Rich's life, I would like to share a few memories. Rich and I served together in the neuropsychiatric clinic a Basset Army Hospital. Although that was over fifty years ago, I still regard Rich as one of my favorite people ever. My friendship with Rich was one of the saving graces of my military experience. I am delighted to learn that he made a career in theater, which was clearly a passion for him. It seems to me that he achieved a life...

Richard was an articulate storyteller, talented director/actor & friend. I miss that he is no longer with us..

I am greatly saddened by the news of Richard`s passing. Many were the times we work together backstage and on stage. Many were the parties we had together. Building saunas, and using them was a passion for us. He will be greatly missed. My deepest condolences to Melinda.

A dear, brilliant and funny gentleman who could rock a chapeau like few others, as well as belt out Some People from Gypsy on a Chena river dock on Christmas Eve. I miss him terribly.
