This was my Uncle Dick. I have so many pictures of he and I when I was very small after he got back from the service. My son takes after him. Slim build and black hair. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. I have nothing but good memories of him and his children. I am on facebook if anyone wishes to contact me. My mother was his sister, Madelyn.

I will always remember Richard Loder as a kind man. I send my condolences to the family. Richard will never be forgotten in my lifetime. When he lost his son Rick, I lost my brother! To help my mother. Richard identified my brother so that my mother would not have to see the results of this horrific accident that took so many young lives. I am so thankful for our what he did that protected my mother back in 1976. God Bless Richard and may he rest in peace until the coming of our Lord.
