Sorry to hear about Richard aka “Grumps.” We send our condolences. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. He was such a great man – of character, passion, and faith. Reflecting back on the years that have past, he was such a loving person and kind; and always had a joke for “any” occasion. He brought so much joy and happiness in the moment. Those memories are still with me today. He will truly be missed. We’ll see you again my friend on the clouds of Glory – thank you for all the love you brought to us. Joclyn, Janice, Grandma Mildred, Dink, Susan and the family – thinking of you in this time of need and praying your hearts will be comforted. Love, Jason and family – Mercy, BriAna, McKayla, and Micha Hunter
