Our heartfelt condolences to all of Richard’s family. Richard and Shirley’s house was decorated with all of your pictures, and we never had an extended visit when they didn’t have stories about family. You meant so much.

Richard (and Shirley) were wonderful people, the kind of friends you can never replace. I will miss Richard’s easy-going attitude and hospitality, his curious mind, his engaging stories… the way that you always came away from time spent with him with a better outlook on the world and your chances in it.

He has had a big impact on my life over the years. I wish I could be half as gracious as he was, and have just a few more scoops of his genuine willingness to see good in people. The greatest things in life—loving, being loved, walking in Christ’s forgiveness and looking forward to unrestricted union with God—these hallmarks of a life well-lived were easy to see in Richard. I am so thankful to have known him and called him my friend.

Richard and Shirley were always so warm and welcoming, southern hospitality I guess.  Richard was always ready to share stories and adventures he had experienced, while Shirley quietly listened and offered treats and beverages.  Living close by them, we knew that any time we dropped by we would be warmly welcomed.  It was  a privilege to serve them both in their later years.

My favorite line from Richard when I wanted to visit him and Shirley and have a cup of coffee  was,  “well, Jane, let me get my calendar out here and see if  we can fit you in.”  Shirley was the the hostess and Richard was the entertainment committee.                                                         Good people, Good memories                        Condolences and lots of Love ❤️             Jane Strom
