I knew Richard as a kind sharing neighbor. He was happy to see us sledding or picking berries or riding bicycles. His friendship was a blessing to the Benningers including my grandparents Thomas and Maude, my parents Carl and Marion, and my brothers Charles and Timothy.

A dear uncle and disciple of Jesus. Richard will be missed by all.
The eyes of the Lordd are upon the righteous and His ears are open unto their cry. He will be missed and look forward to day Jesus will return to take us home.
