Mr. Richard W Lay

Richard was born in Paris, Texas on January 1, 1937 to Myrtle and Jim Lay. He was a long time member of Bedford Church of Christ. After a long and dedicated career, he retired from The Concrete Pipe Company and City of Euless Crossing Guard. He was an avid clock collector and never missed a chance to crack a joke.

He was preceded in death by his parents, his wife Gloria Godbey Lay, six brothers; Charles, Bobby, Arizona, Enist, James and W.C. Lay; two sisters, Dorothy Shepard and Lottie Luster, and one dog, his baby, Angel.

Richard is survived by his daughter Taunya (husband John) Eagles; sisters JoAnn Towers and Mary Ann McCurry; grandchildren Taylor Thompson and Jeremiah Thompson; great-grandsons Warren Malone and Sawyer Thompson; great-granddaughter Lillie Jo Mitchell, and numerous nieces and nephews.

Services for Richard will be held at Bluebonnet Hills Funeral Home. Visitation will be held on Friday, May 21, 2021 from 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm. Funeral services on Saturday, May 22 at 10:00 a.m with committal service to follow at Bluebonnet Hills Memorial Park.

The clock is running.

Make the most of today.

Time waits for no man.

Yesterday is history.

Tomorrow is a mystery,

And today is a gift.
