Alice Currie called yesterday to let Pastor know that Richard passed away at noon on Monday, March 30. He has been struggling with cancer for a long time, so this was not something unexpected, and his death was peaceful with a chaplain present to serve him and Alice.
Alice and Dick had been married for 62 years. Alice has told us she will stay in Arizona until the end of April, and plan for a memorial service here in early June. She asks for our prayers.
Our heartfelt love and support go out to Alice, the kids, grandchildren, family, friends, and neighbors who we will keep close in our prayers. A sorrowful time and he will sorely be missed.
