Richard Spragg Obituary
Born on January 25, 1947, he was the son of the late Lillian and Robert Spragg.
He was the beloved husband of 52 years to Nancy "Tiny" Spragg; loving father of Shawn (Jessica) Spragg, Lisa (the late Lee "Uncle") Nanni and Michael (Taura McCormick) Spragg; Pappaw of Alexander, Zachariah, Mathias, and Katarina Spragg, Rylee Nanni, Mackenzie (Alex) Lakomy, Hunter (Austin), Kendall, Presley, Jaxyn Spragg and their mother Kristin Koch; great grandfather of Graham; step grandfather of Callie and Charlie McCormick; dear brother of the late Robert Spragg and twin brother, Randy Spragg. Also survived by nieces and nephews.
Richard loved his West Virginia Mountaineers. Often times, he would be found sitting on his front porch, fly swatter in hand, watching the neighborhood. Most of all he enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date.

Nancy and family,
I worked with Rick at CONSOL. He was one of my bosses. Sweet, low keyed and great to work with. He taught me that tavern hams were really good! One year for Christmas he gave me a little teddy bear holding a tattered quilted blanket, forty years later that is still one of my favorite bears...I´m now 78 and Rick has made a lasting impression on me. The world was a better place with him in it. I will always treasure our friendship. Rest in peace, my dear friend.
My very deepest sympathy to all of you.
