Eternal rest grant unto Richard, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Dick: Many years have passed but our spirits have remained connected. When we saw each other in Dec I knew it would be the last time – I know you knew too – you asking if I was doing ok you still concerned about my well-being. Two days after you passed a strong spirit came into my home loudly stirring until you got my attention. I said “ok Dick, I get it you are here with me and at peace. It brought comfort to me calmness to your spirit as I acknowledged your presence. We had a special visit as I talked to you. All the birds you have sent loudly singing around me is another sign of your presence. One day our spirits will flutter around each other on the other side. We always enjoyed walking through Arlington Cemetery. I hope to share that special day with you as you are laid to rest in a spot you so deserve to be. May God’s Loving Arms Surround You. In God’s Love, Mary Jo
To our favorite cousin we will miss our visits and our many phones calls we will truly miss you love JAMES TONY ELAINE AND TAMMIE LAWRENCE
Rest in peace, Brother Dick. Our friendship started while stationed overseas, and continued to grow throughout the years. After our return from overseas you became a special part of our family while our boys were growing up, and to this day they still refer to you as Uncle Dick. Even though we were physically apart in recent years, we will miss you very much. May your spirit soar, Charlie & Gerry
With many fond memories of years long ago.
We were so fortunate to live near Dick ~ our own personal neighborhood watch! More importantly, he was a kind man and a good friend. He will be missed. With prayers and deepest sympathy…Larry Brooke and Claudia Tuller-Brooke
I give my sincere condolences to the families and friends. Richard was greatly loved and will be missed. The best description of Jehovah God is that he is love. It talks of this at 2 Corinthians 13:11 where it says, “Finally, brothers, continue to rejoice, to be readjusted, to be comforted, to think in agreement, to live peaceably, and the God of love and of peace will be with you.” This love is the reason why we can be confident that Jehovah will remember those in the memorial tombs in the near future and we will be reunited with our loved ones. Please take comfort in that knowledge.
