To Shirley, Lisa, Jaimi, Angie, and other members of the Calloway Family, I was saddened to hear of Ricky's passing. I will truly miss him! He was not only a classmate, but we also grew up at First Church. Every Sunday he had some smart remark for me. I will miss that. He was fun loving, and people enjoyed being around him. May God comfort you during this difficult time in your lives.
Ricky is resting peacefully with no more pain. God bless you!

To Shirley, Lisa, Jaimi and the entire Calloway family: I am sorry for the loss of your dear father and my friend Richard. Richard never complained, explained, resisted the temptation to defend himself or make excuses. Life was an exciting journey to him and I am sure he is saying, "Wow! What a Ride!”
Quoting William Shakespeare:
“When he shall die,
Take him and cut him out in little stars,
And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night
And pay no worship to the sun.”

To the Calloway girls: I am sorry for the loss of your father. I had the pleasure of working with Richard when he was an administrator at Miller School. I found him to be a fair, friendly and helpful leader. May you find comfort in knowing that others share your grief. RIH, Richard.

Richard was truly a friend and loved to be around people. I going to miss our talks and joking around. When I was informed of his departure, I was deeply saddened. To the family I extend my condolences and prayers. God loaned Richard to us for awhile. Richard would go to hospital and we would pray for his healing and he come home. But a few days ago God said it was time leave this earthly home and come on up to glory. Yes, I shedded a tear and remembered Jesus wept.
