Oh the memories I have of you all! I remember playing on the farm and I loved stock car racing! I spent many weekends with dad at the races. I don’t remember a lot of my childhood but I do remember you as a strong, loving Christian man. The love you had for your family and God was like no other. I wish I had stayed in touch more after dad passed! I love you all very much! Until we see you again in Heaven! Praying for each and every one of you!

Sending love and prayers to the family during this time. He will be deeply missed on Mountain View Square. His presence was a beloved part of our Friday and Saturday night music gatherings. The Square won’t be the same without him, but his spirit will always echo through the music and the memories we shared.

Papa, I just wanted to take a moment to tell you how much you mean to me. You’ve always been there whether it was with a warm hug, a word of encouragement, or simply your presence when I needed it most. Papa you are someone who inspired love in the hearts of many, spreading everlasting joy and warmth that brightens everyone’s day. You are a beacon of hope and a comforting presence that uplifts hearts. You are a shining inspiration that motivates me to strive for excellence and fiercely pursue my passions. I need you to continue being a shining example of strength and resilience, uplifting and inspiring all those who love and admire you. Papa, I love you more than words can ever express your love, strength, and presence mean the world to me, and I carry that love with me every single day. -Love your granddaughter Heather.🙏✝️🤍

Prayers for this sweet family. Our friendship goes back 60 years. We officially became family When the youngest Greenway (Perry) married the youngest Clark (Tonya). We had many good times and lots of laughs with Richard through the years. He and Janice came over quite often for a shin-dig. We played guitars and sang together. There are many cherished memories.
Prayers for the entire family. I know Richard is with Jesus and he will be greatly missed until that final grand reunion.
We love you guys very much!
