Condolence: I am so sorry to hear of Richard's passing. He was a familiar figure in my childhood and many of the years since. He was a strong, capable, and ethical person with a good sense of humor. During high school I spent many weekends with Becca at their farm on North Myrtle Road outside of Myrtle Creek and I remember that Dick was always working, always busy, always laughing. Whenever I have seen him in the many years since then he was the same - busy and laughing even though he slowed down a bit as he got older. Steve, David and Rebekah, I am so sorry for your loss.

Condolence: to the family and loved ones, I am so sorry for your loss. My name is Steve. When I lost my wife and daughter and later my oldest son, there were many Bible scriptures that brought me great comfort. I would like to share some of them with you. Why we die: Genesis 3:1-18; Romans 5:12 Hope for the future: John 11:24, 25 Future earthly home: Revelation 21:1-4; Psalm 37:10, 11 I hope this helps a little. I also got much comfort from www. jw. org. It's free, no ads and no requests for donations. Steve
