Condolences       to #1 from: Suzanne Patterson Richwood Thu, Jul 2, 2020 at 12:30 PM I met Dick when I first started working at the Richwood Civic Center in 1998. Always equipped with a smile, Dick and Lois were ever willing to help out. Community Meals wont be the same without Dick at the "Men's" table (the loud table because they all suffered from hearing loss). My sympathies go to his family. Great guy! #2 from: Howard F Stover Jr   Thu, Jul 2, 2020 at 1:03 PM To the entire family, I'm so sorry for your loss, he was so cool and loved by so many. He will rest well in Gods hands.May God help you all find comfort knowing he is in an awesome place and now with many loved ones and friends past.
