Dick and Mary were two of the first people I met when I joined Eastminster in 1997. They were very active in our church, Dick was the first person to introduce me to Newway Burgers, definitely a KS special treat, I have many fond memories of them both. He was a kind and gentle man and always made me smile . They were two of my favorite people, I am so sad they are gone but I know we will see each other again. My prayers will be for all the family.
Rest Richard, until you hear at dawn, the low, clear reveille of God. Thank you for your service to this nation. U.S. Military Veteran.
