Mr. Robert, would light up the lobby every time he came to Meals on Wheels to deliver for his route. All the ladies would come out to greet him and have small talk. He was just a joy to be around.
The day he came in my office to let me know he would be giving up his route was very sad for the both of us because he was not just a volunteer but my friend.
To the family my heart goes out to you and I send love to you all!! Bless you and hold on to the wonderful memories as I will. Much Love,
Ma-Rita Volunteer Coordinator
Daniel is flying higher than ever as he soars with the angels.
As a team, he and dear Inge, have expanded global friendships through Asheville Sister Cities.
Always a man of quiet demeanor with a glint in his eye.
We bow to honor this dear friend. To Inge we send love,
Family Dillingham-Richards, Ken and daughter Constance
