Sorry to hear of Farrell's passing. We were neighbors on Richardson St. when I was growing up. I remember him helping us with our baseball games When we would be playing in his front yard. My sympathy to Monte and the whole Richardson family, sorry I can't come and show my respects, but you will be in my thoughts and prayers.

My thoughts with the Richardson family in their celebration of Farrell's life and memory. I had the pleasure of working with Brad.  His dad did a wonderful job and his goodness certainly lives on in his progeny.

You, the kid's and those precious grandchildren are in our thoughts and prayers. May God give you all comfort and peace. Love, Gary and Judy Gilbert

Brad and family I am so sorry for your loss.  I want to extend my deepest condolences to you all.

Brad, I am so sorry to hear about your father.  As you and I talked about often, I really enjoyed working with him and he was the consummate banker that always had the client's interest first. I was lucky to have that time with him.  Thinking of you and your family.

Worked with Farrell at American Community Bank.  He always had a smile on his face and was kind to everyone. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Thank God there's comfort in knowing Farrell is now with His savior.  Our prayers and sympathy are extended to the family.  Judy Barbee Moore

"Mr. Farrell," as the youth at FBC-IT in the 70s called him, was a very kind man who seemed to always have a smile on his face and a strong "can do" attitude. His passing is indeed our loss but most certainly heaven's gain. May God wrap up Elaine, Meredith, and Brad in His arms and provide them with comfort and peace.   Dawn Broom

We are so sorry for your loss. Farrell was always such a sweet and kind man to our family. May God comfort you all during this difficult time. Please know we are praying for you all. Much love and prayer.

A tradegy for the ones left behind but glorious for those who go home before us. 
The hope we have is knowing we will see each other again. 
I pray through this darkness may God place his glorious light shine upon you.

My sincere sympathy and prayers in your loss.

Ferrell was such a special gentlemen and much loved by all who knew him.  He was younger than me but we enjoyed talking to each other every time we would run into each other.  I'm praying for all the family and thankful they will have many precious memories to help them through the saddest times.  The Lord will give you His comfort, love, peace and strength during this time.  Sincerely, Geraldine (Gerri) Rogers    Prov. 3:5,6

I went through school with Farrell. Such a nice young man then and I am sure after reading the obit, he continued to be such a sweet and wonderful man. Heaven is truly richer today. Asking God's comfort for his family.

So sorry to hear of Farrell's death.  I grew up in East Monroe with him and have known him for close to 65 years.  Farrell was a great guy.  I will miss our conversations when we would run into each other.  Peace to you and your family.
Gary Noles (Monroe, NC)

May all the love and memories Ferrell gave the Richardson FAMILY help them at this difficult time. Frank Eason

Love and prayers to the entire Family.  Precious memories from FBC Indian Trail.  Sunday school teacher, deacon and friend.
Very special person. Will never forget the times that were shared together, especially the white water rafting trip back in like 1978.

Our families thoughts and prayers are with you all.

As a young girl, I spent a lot of time with your family since Meredith and I were such great friends. Those are wonderful memories that I hold dear. Farrell always made me feel welcome and always wore a smile. I am so sorry for your loss. I am praying for you all.

So sorry to hear this. Elaine, Meredith and Brad you will be in our prayers. It was an honor to have  known Farrell and his family as good friends. We have so many great memories over the years.

I only met Farrell in the Jessie helms rehab facility where my wife was on going rehab, I knew him only a few days, but in those few days his warmth and friendship captured my heart, like I had known him all my life, We sat at the table next to him and shared dinner and conversation, observing his beautiful wife Elaine feed and care for
him, my wife Kathy had known Farrell for fifty years plus, and totally respected him, he will be missed by every one who knew him,and certainly me. God give comfort to his family, and enjoy him being by your side there in HEAVEN,   DON AND KATHY MCGINNIS

We are so sorry for your loss.  Farrell always had a smile for everyone.  He will be greatly missed for showing God's love in such a wonderful way.

My love and deepest sympathy to all the family.  Farrell was one of God's special gifts to us all.

Very sorry to learn of Farrell's passing. He was a long time friend and a true gentleman. His life made a difference to many people. Our prayers for Elaine and their children and grandchildren. May God give you comfort and peace in this trying time.

Dear Elaine, Brad & Meredith, I am so sorry to hear about Farrell's passing, but I understand he had been sick for quite a while.  In some ways that makes it a little easier letting him go, especially when you think about where he is now !!!  He was always a wonderful friend to me and my family whom we will never forget.  I know Roger (Watkins) and my dad (Curtis Williams) sure were happy to see him when he entered the gates of Heaven.  Please know I will be praying for you all.  Much Love, Shelia (Watkins) Forbis

So sorry to hear of Farrell's passing.  One of the greatest men I've ever met. Prayers to the family.
