Stephen wrote: "He was like an Uncle to me. When I think of him, his warm personality and approachability come to mind. Will never forget all those New Years Eve parties at the Brogans. Seems like many years ago now- but what great memories of him, Kitty, Beth, Ricki and Ted. We will be praying for them as they go through this loss."

Dear Kitty and family,
What a loss for all of us here, but what a gain for heaven's praise team. It was my joy and blessing to know and be a part of Richard's work here at the Convention and across the state. As his ministry assistant, we enjoyed many hours of work sprinkled with his humor. He was definitely a man on a mission for God. He never quit touching people for the Lord. Thank you Kitty for being a part of that work.
With love and appreciation for your family,
