My name is Joyce and I am Richard's wife. Richard and I shared the last 9 years of his life together. He was a WONDERFUL husband, a great father to OUR children and a wonderful provider. I will miss my best friend.. My heart is shattered without Rick. I wish I got the chance to say goodbye to Rick or have one last kiss; but I know one day we'll be together again in HEAVEN! I love you My sweet Richard, may you be resting peacefullY.. Until we meet again, Love your wife, Joyce Shafer

I am so sorry to hear about Richard passing. I know he will be missed by all that knew him. I met him at GE and worked with him when he was on 2ND shift on C-3. He was a good person and well liked by all that knew him. I pray that he will be remembered as a good person and friend. All my prayers go to his family and friends.

Richard was a caring person who will be deeply missed. Our children grew up with him on Accrusia Avenue in Clarksville and were close friends. May God welcome him with open arms.

To the Family of Richard
I worked with Richard in the warehouse. I was so sadden to hear of his untimely death.  He was a very strong young man and very entertaining to listen to him speak of his passionate points of view.  He will be greatly missed.  I will keep you in my prayers and may God be with you as you try to tread the muddy waters.  But I tell you even though these days are black God will help you through the gloom if you will lean on him. May God be with you.
