Dear Wallace Family: We are so sorry for your loss. May God give you strength to move forward. Waterview will never be the same without Richard and all the devotion to the neighbors and neighborhood that he so generously gave. We ALL lost a good friend and neighbor.

Dear Betty, David, Lisa and the Wallace Family,

I was sorry to hear of Richard’s passing. I am very sorry that I missed the service. I heard this sad news at the JGG airport late last week.

Richard was a dear friend and truly loved to fly. I always enjoyed “hangar-flying” with him and our trips with his “180 hp” Skyhawk (with the added 10 hp booster). When he got that muffler put on, he made me fly it over the airport so that he could hear it from the ground.

Richard, It has taken me a while to come to grips with you being gone. You and I have shared a lot of time together over the last 32 years, they were awesome years, we laughed, we cried, we learned from each other, mostly me from you. I will miss you my brother, you will always be in my heart and you will be in my daily thoughts.

Bob

Betty, David, Lisa, Cindy & Elvis:

JW and I are going to miss Richard so much. JW thought of Richard as an older brother. Our prayers and thoughts are with you always. Love, JW & Jeannie
