Memories and Condolences
for Charles Richards
December 20, 2009
Being one of many, many students of Mr Richards, I was always impressed with his recollection. A soft spoken man, he never failed to acknowledge whenever our paths crossed. Now it is I who recollect (fondly) - prayers to Chas' family.

Sue, my love and prayers go out to you at this difficult time. Charlie and I go back to the 50's when we drove to Wayne State every day along with Ron Limberg and the Mckenzie brothers to get our degrees. Then we taught together for many years at PHHS and as you know, we became very close friends. I haven't seen you two for years, but you have never been far from my thoughts. May God comfort you with many fond memories you must have. Please e-mail me at: [email protected] Eric Payton

Sue,
We really missed you & Charlie for our "annual" visit in Florida this year & you've been in our thoughts so much this holiday season. We are saddened to hear of his passing. Charlie was one-of-a-kind and loved by so many. We will treasure our fond memories of him. We send our love.

Well, to all the family........I don't think I know any of you, but I've been in your position. Sorrowed to think of the loss you're bearing up to. "Charlie" wasn't my biology teacher......Miss Rowe was. "Charlie" was my track coach, for four years. Whenever I saw him in the "halls" at school, he'd say "You'd better be staying in shape". I chuckled, because I knew he knew I was. He was a good coach. In those days, the sixties, there was only one man......Charlie. Spread thin, he did a good job. I always reflect back on those "road trips", like "the Mansfield Relays"....down in Ohio. Great memories to share with my boys. I miss stopping by his place on the river and kicking around those times with him. He's missed, for sure.

Sorry to hear about Charlie's passing. Your dad and I go WAY BACK. He was a character (and I mean in a good way-character)' Everyone who really knew Charlie thought the world of him.

I just wanted to say how sorry I am for your loss. Mr. Richard's was, and still is, my favorite teacher. I loved Advanced Biology because he made it interesting and was so laid back. I can truly say that we had a blast in the classroom.

Richards Family-
My fondest memory of high school was being in Mr. Richard's Advanced Bio class. He is the reason I am a college Biology instructor today!
Great teacher and a great guy!
My family is holding you all up in prayer.
