Mary Lee, I was so sorry to read in the paper about Your sweetie passing. I am in Lubbock now and don't take the Plainview paper. I wish I was there to hug you. Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers, Carlene Kirby

Conchita and I were saddened to hear of the death of Richard. We frequented the Roaring 50s during our years at Wayland Baptist University (1982-90) and always enjoyed the food and light-hearted banter of Richard. He and Mary Lee were deeply loved by the WBU and Plainview community. Godspeed to your family!

Mary Lee, and Family
So sorry to hear of your loss.
I have many fond memories and had great conversations with Richard at Roaring 50s.....I missed our talks when I left Plainview.
He was a good man...
