I remember the Wallace family from Westgate Friends Church. I am a member of the Tope family. I wish you peace as you deal with the sudden passing of your loved one. I lost my daughter and father in 2005 and depend on God's gentle guiding hand to lead me through the sorrow. He has rewarded me with many blessings.

Sharon and family;
I am deeply saddened to learn of Dick's passing. I remember meeting him several times over the years when we were taking Organ lessons, and he always treated me like part of the family. He was such a kind, friendly, warm hearted person. I feel deeply for you at this time. This hits Janice and I at a sad time also since our Mother Jeanne, just passed away August 12th and we are still mourning her loss. So we feel the loss you are now going through. You are in our prayers.

To the entire Wallace Family,
My thoughts are with all of you. With the short time that I have spent with your very loving family, it was clear to see that Dick was a wonderful Husband, Father, Grandfather, and, most of all, a great Man. He lives on in all of you.

Sharon, Phil, Kelly, Brian,
Dick has earned his heavenly reward, Rejoice!! He often walked by our house. Everytime I asked him if he needed a ride home, he always refused! We always talked church, life, friends. He was proud of his kids and grandkids. I ran by him at the park just last week and he told me "I wasn't sweaty enough to quit yet." He was a great man. I will miss our interaction. May you feel our sympathy and God's joy in this time. You're in our prayers,
Rev. Glenn and Chris Perry

your Dad's passing. We will greatly miss hearing him sing in the choir.
His cheerful disposition always brought a smile to our face. His legacy
now lives on through his beautiful family. Our hearts go out to all of
you and we pray you will find comfort and peace knowing Dick is with
our Father.

I have so many wonderful memories of Dick dating all the way back to the late 70's when we met at Judson College and became friends in the early 80's. Mr. Wallace was a great man who served the Lord all of his life. His legacy will not be forgotten.
Love,
