To the Family of Richard Stute: I am so sorry to hear of Richard's passing. I worked with Richard on several projects over many years. His goal was making learning fun for young children, profit was not a motive. Our thoughts and Prayers will be with you, James and Marietta Emmett

Sorry for your loss of Richard. I knew him from the bank and always
enjoyed talking to him, I usually asked him how he was and he would say tollerable, knew him also from the doing the newspaper. I had retired in 2001 but went in to help some and he would always say that I needed to come in more often. We have been in Mahomet since 1966 and glad to see his smile. He will be
missed.
