Dear Beth and family,

So sorry to hear about the home going of your husband, father and grandfather. Please accept my deepest sympathy. I probably would not be able to understand your sorrow had I not lost my own mother 4 1/2 years ago. I'm sure they're in heaven visiting over all the great times they had while here on earth, bragging on their families, Dick seeing his grandson again and standing in awe at seeing our Savior face-to-face for the first time. I shall be forever thankful to Dick for the Biblical foundation he laid for my parents which in turn was handed down to me and my family. We shall all be together one day in the same place for all eternity. What an exciting day that will be!

Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family as you travel down this new path God has asked you to walk. May his Holy Spirit comfort you now and in days to come.

Love in Christ,

Judy

Dear Beth, Kim, Andy, & Tony, Vickie and I want to express our condolences, but at the same time join a celebration of Dick's homegoing.Space will not permit me to remember all the good times we had at Englewood. It will be good when we all get to Heaven and are able to see all the lives you and Dick have touched throughout his ministry. With much love & prayers, Bill & Vickie Thornmburg

Dear Beth, Kim, Andy & Tony:



Our feeble words will never replace the tremendous loss that you have just experienced. Be assured that all over the world people are sharing a measure of your grief.



The Fulk Family will long remember the 'next door Laue's' and that 'Long and Tall' preacher that was forever chiding us and encouraging us as well. (He did have an odd sense of humor.) Our hearts will cherish those great days at Englewood, U.S.A.



WHAT AN HONOR TO HAVE KNOWN THIS WONDERFUL SAINT OF THE LORD...his influence will long live in the lives of his 'Timothy's' and many others.



You have our prayers and warmest regards at this very tender time.



With a full measure of our love,

Terry & Carolyn

Melanie - Mark - Mason - Maddy

Our thoughts, love and prayers are with you all during this difficult time. Praise God that Dick is walking the streets of gold with our Saviour. We are so thankful that he led us to Christ and for the influence he had on our lives beginning in February 1967 and even throughout the years as we remembered him often. We are thankful for the memories of the good times we shared - many years ago - and of his tremendous style of preaching the true gospel!



Much love and prayers, Dan and Sandy Cunniff

We are sorry to hear of Dick's passing, but know it is a welcome relief for he is pure and whole without pain now, walking with our Savior.



Dick was a monumental force in our young lives, first as being my youth pastor, then the Sr. Pastor of Englewood, then the Pastor that married us.
