To our friend Stephanie
We give you all our LOVE
We're so very sorry that your dad
Has flown to the heaven above.

He'll tell him that he loves his family
And doesn't want to go
But he'll be greeted at the Pearly Gates
by everyone he's known.

He's been a great dad, husband & friend
But this my darling
Is his new beginning
Not his end.

Richard served his country from 59-65"
But the best service he gave was
Raising his family , and being by their side.

Such a loving father
Anyone could tell
But he was a minister so you could
Never say H-e-double L.

Richard loved his wine
And cooking gourmet food
But his favorite meal of all
Was the ones , with his 3 kids.

Every Sunday morning
With spatula in hand
The kids looked up in awe
And thought, That's our dad
Isn't he so grand!

So remember all he's taught you
And when your missing him
Go to your kitchen window
And listen to the birds sing.

He's in the birds song
He's the whisper in the wind
He'll always be with you
Just look within .

Although I never met Richard, I felt like I knew him. Stephanie would tell us stories of her mom and dad, she would prepare some of his favorite dishes and even made His favorite drinks for all of her friends. Richard may be gone, but Stephanie will keep his joyous spirit alive in her heart for all of us to enjoy. Laurie & Jim Burton

Richard was a wonderful man and enjoyed life and his precious wife. Stephanie, Rick and Keith were his pride and joy. He frequently brought Holy Communion to us. Richard will be greatly missed by those who knew him. Rest in peace, dear friend, rest in peace.

Stephanie and family my thoughts and prayers are with you all. I never met your Dad Stephanie but I know you have shared some wonderful times that you have had together. The one I always remember and share with many is how when you were a little girl you would have your Dad carry a first aid kit in the trunk of his car so you could stop and help animals who were hurt. What an awesome Dad and wonderful person your Dad was. Love you. Terri

My very dear friend Richard,
Now that you have started your journey to Heaven,
I will keep my prayers going for you, to help smooth
your way.
God Bless always,
Doris
