My families' most sincere condolences to the Stallings family. I served in Congressman Stallings Twin Falls office and then an internship with his Washington office in 1989. While working in his Twin Falls office I always admired his way to communicate with the constituents, if he was meeting with a large group of farmers he knew them all by name and would call on them that way. I don't know how he could remember personally the names of each farmer. After the internship I then served a couple of months on his regular Washington staff before I took a full time position with Congressman William Hughes of New Jersey. Congressman Hughes had similar views as Congressman Stallings, he served as a democratic member of the House representing a very much republican rural district. One of the assignments I recall very clearly during my internship was I had the responsibility of conducting Capital tours, as there was no tour service at the time and each member gave tours at their discretion. This put me on a path I would very much appreciate later on. I would continue to carry on occasionally leading tours for Congressman Hughes office and later serve with the National Park Service as an interpretive Ranger for the Nez Perce Historical Park in Idaho and then the Forest Service in Idaho as an administrative clerk. To this day I greatly appreciate the service, guidance and opportunities provided by Congressman Stallings and Congressman Hughes office.
My family sends it most sincere sympathies and condolences to the Stallings family.

Oh my goodness; this brought back such a flood of fond memories of Renee and Richard. We kew them when he taught at Ricks College. I always appreciated him; his storytelling ability, his desire to serve the people. I'm sorry about his death, but he lived such a good honorable life. I loved the slide tribute to Richard. He was a true patriot.

Our son, Seth Lounsbury, was Richard's campaign manager for his 2014 campaign. Richard was bigger than life to us. We got to know Richard and he was still bigger than life. He was such a wonderful man with strong values with a desire to preserve our democracy. He never stopped teaching. Rest in peace.
