Wayne and Chuck, I don't know if you remember me. I'm Kim Hendricks. Richard and I dated when we were 17. He was a great guy. I know he's in Heaven with my mom who, by the way, loved Richard like her own son. God bless you both and I'm praying for you and his whole family.

Dear Wayne and Chuck: I'm so sorry to hear about Ritchie and just wanted you to know that my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. You may not remember me but I was your neighbor when we lived on Hwy.
150 near the old Twelve Oaks Academy. The boys were just little fellas at the time but were such a joy to be around. Some day all of your family will be together again in Heaven. God Bless You and Wrap His Arms of Love
Around You. Love, Melinda

I am in shock and disbelief. I am so sorry Cheryl and to the other family members. My memories of Richard is when his little girl was born and we went to his house for something and he came out on the porch holding her with a big smile on his face. He was so proud of her. I've seen him on numerous occasions when he showed up at the store when I was getting gas or just there for other things. Always friendly. Gonna miss him. To the family, you will be in my thoughts and prayers.

It saddens me deeply to have to say goodbye to you, my friend! Not only did we grow up together throughout our school years, we continued a lasting friendship during our adult lifetime. Your loyalty in both friendship and business will not be forgotten. You always brightened up the day, finding a way to have my twin brother and me laughing within the first 5 seconds of each meeting. We both will miss you dearly! Our prayers and thoughts go out to the remaining family members and friends. We are very sorry for your loss! May the Lord lift you and help make Richard's passing easier in time! We love and will remember you, Richard! Rest in peace, buddy! Ken & Chris Canipe, Shelby, NC.

Its with a very heavy heart that I say thank you to all who have and will share best wishes and prayers for my brother Richard and our family. Know that I will read every one until they close this guest book. As I have read and reread this numerous times, my words dont portray how we all feel. We are all on an emotional roller coaster at the present. However it offers us some comfort knowing that Richard was a man of strong faith. My father and Richard prayed together the morning he died. He told me he loved me the day before he died. He was a man with a giving heart and a stubborn mind. His spirit will always be with me, my co-pilot. Love to all who offer a special thought of him and sincere appreciation for your kind words. Im continually amazed by the people that he touched. With great memories and a connection only a brother can understand, Chuck Campbell
