Liberty Elementary School Liberty, NC 27298 I just got off the phone with Ann his daughter 2 hrs ago of me posting this he had a heart attack driving down the road in his s10 with Joyce. Luckily she got the truck stopped and they avoided further disaster. Rescue squad tried for 45 min but he passed away. 😢 I've known Richard and Joyce since may of 2006. He was a great friend, my engine builder, but a husband and dad. We lost a great man today. I'm in shock.... Please keep this family in your prayers especially Joyce they did everything together. And his daughter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jared, I know how hard it is to lose a great friend. Lost my Uncle last Christmas. Grew up with him when I was in my early teens. Think about the times I was with him, you do the same with Richard,that will make a smile come across when you need it. Sorry for your loss of a good friend.
