I have lots of memories of Rich as a Brother-in-law, a Husband, a Father, Grandfather and a Friend. Above all else he was a Christian, so now I can safely say that I will see him again in the place the Lord is preparing for all those who love Him. Enjoy the rest God has planned for you, Rich, and I will be joining you, Billye, and Fred in just a day or two.

There are so many memories I have of Uncle Rich. I wish I could be there to share at least one of them. Whether it was telling me that the rabbit served to me was really chicken, introducing me to the phrase, "that rain is like a cow peeing on a flat rock," or his powerful voice in the choir, my memories are all fond. He loved the Lord and his wife and family, that's for sure.
