Sad news. He married me and why wife in 1996 and i just felt compelled to look him up . We live in england and was gonna look him up when we come back on vacation. Sorry for the bad news

To all the people that loved Richard, we only met him once, it was on the 7th October 1994 when he married us at the Canterbury Wedding Chapel.
We would both like to say that we couldn't have wished for a nicer person than Richard to carry out the ceremony, we have framed photo's of the three of us together and will always remember his kind words.
So sorry to hear of His passing and we hope that Richard has found the peace and happiness that He deserves

In fond memory John and Jennifer

Received a CD from a family member back east.  It was Pastor Conrad.  He continues to bless even now with his music and his love for Jesus.  Prayers and love to all,  

Emily Gonzalez and family

Robert and I were so blessed when the Lord allowed us to become part of your spiritual family.  While we were sad to hear the news, we rejoice knowing you are with the Lord.  You blessed us with your music, your life, and yes, even your jokes.  Rose, please take comfort in knowing you are not alone, God is holding you in the palm of his hand......We love you both so much and now, Richard is really going to be missed.

To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.  There is a flavor of country in heaven's choir now as Richard is rejoicing before the Lord.  What a wonderfully kind man he is, and we will miss him.  Rose, our prayers are with you and your family.  It's a temporary separation,  and an eternity of togetherness awaits!  Love to you,  Gloria

 RIP, GO WITH THE ANGELS.. HAVE A SAFE JOURNEY .. REJOICE NO LONGER IN PAIN ...A job well done my friend. I have you in my prayers dear Rose, angels watch over you ;)     Pauline Belis (Las Vegas, Nevada)

Richard Lee Conrad was one of my very best friends.  We grew up together in West Virginia from age 10 till his passing. We had thousands of stories and memories to share and if he were alive to read this comment, he would tell me to put out a laugh to all that knew him so I am.  I was about 18 and Richard about 15.  Richard's mom had given him a work assignment to have the dishes in the kitchen cleaned and the trash taken out before she got home from work or we would not go out together later that evening. She never trusted her son with anyone but me.  I felt very privileged.  He asked me to take the trash to the trash barrel and burn it as that was the way we did it nearly 50 years ago.  He told me to stay with the trash until it was all burned up so I did.  I lit the trash and was standing with my back up to the barrell and all of a sudden fire crackers started going off inside of the trash can.  It liked to scarred me to death.  That rascal had placed a full gross of fire crackers in the trash, over 2300 fire crackers! When he pulled pranks on you, they were good ones. Richard was looking out the dining room window about 150 feet away, just laughing his head off....true story.  So brother Richard, as you have departed this life, I fully intend to see you in the next one.  Thank you for being my prayer partner these past few years and opening up your home to Jean Ann and me when we went to Vegas.  God Bless You good friend.  I sure am going to miss you!  Rose, you were married to one of the finest men I ever knew.  Thanks for keeping him alive for all of us to enjoy so many years.  You are the BEST!!!  Big Daddy Rich, now go with God and rest in eternal peace.  You have earned your reward.  In Sympathy, Conley and Jean Ann Grimes in Richmond, Virginia.
