Joyce and family,
Richard has truly been a blessing to our family in so many ways. My dad and mom were so grateful that he lived right up the street and was always there when needed. He was always waving if he was in the yard when we drove by. I will always Ms. Trieb to him. Love you our friend and rest easy.

So sorry for your loss Joyce. My sincere sympathy to all the family. It’s comforting to know that Chrissy will be spending Father’s Day with her Daddy this year. Rest In Peace Richard.

Greatly sadden to hear of Richards passing. I lost track of a lot of my trail riding buddies when I moved out of my home and away from Mascoutah. He was a great guy and always ready to help in any situation. My sympathy to all who knew and cared for him.

Richard was always so kind and caring as my ‘oldest cousin.’ He was patient, laughing with Ruth, Reneta & me when we visited & bugged everyone else. He was always a helper.
