Richard was the bishop when I was serving as a missionary. I spent Christmas 2000 morning in his home. He treated me like family, providing gifts and letting us use his phone to call home. He was generous with his time even though he must have been so busy. Over the years I have on occasion remembers this good man and his positive influence in my life as a young missionary I am glad to have known this good man and his wife, and am thankful for their thoughtfulness to me.

Was just thinking about him. Had not seen him and Janine in 20 years and sort of lost touch. Cant believe he and his wife are gone. The nicest, most giving people. I wish I could have thanked them for all they've done for me.

I met Richard at Ft. King and he was just one of my very first friends that crossed from Middle School to High School. Also worked with him while I was still in Ocala, as he troubleshot some issues in a plant I worked out for the City of Ocala's Electrical Div. A truly, truly great person that I am proud to have call a friend. We wish all the best to the McKinney family.

I will never look at my trolls without remembering them frozen or missing. Richard always had fun with them and me whenever he got the chance. We worked many years together at the ol' Meter Shop and we had a lot of fun as a group. Rest in peace Richard and know that we all will miss your wit and fun times. Deb
