Richard Franklin Wilder

I just received word of the passing of my Uncle Dick. I have so many fond memories of him and most of them are from my visits to Grandma and Grandpa Wilder's farm in the 1950s. Dick took me on a lot of wonderful adventures. I am so happy that I got to see Uncle Dick and Aunt Thelma on their visits to Kalispell to visit my mother. Mom loved her brother Richard and I take a lot of comfort knowing that they are together once again. Dick was the last of my uncles and I am sure going to miss him.

In loving memory of my papa Richard Wilder, he was the sweetest man I ever had the pleasure of knowing. He loved his four children and his beautiful wife Thelma with all he had, and I know he is watching over us all. I love you dearly Papa, and you will always have a very special space in my heart. I can only hope to take care of Granny in a fraction of the manor you has all these years. I miss you so much.

Dick was my father-in-law but from our first meeting I felt as we were best friends (Thelma too). I love you both with all my heart. Bud chenoweth

In loving memory of my amazing Dad. He was my hero,not just for all of us, but for all the wonderful things he did for all of us everyday he lived.
For all of us with great sorrow for the loss of our beloved Richard Wilder, I send this little prayer:

As time passes, I pray we gradually move toward the day when the comfort of our memories, will be greater then the sorrow of our loss.

I love you Dad,
Debra Dill

Dick as we knew him was a real true friend to every one who knew him and will truly be missed and thought of often.
Just think Dick, you are ahead of all of us to reach Heaven, have fun and save a good place for us.
