I have very special memories of the time we all spent together in the old neighborhood and alot of those were spent with Richard. He was a very special man. My condolences to all. If there is any thing you guys need do not hesitate, I am only a e-mail away. God Bless.
Love, Wade Bradley
Our family extends its heartfelt gratitude for the tremendous outpouring of sympathy and support you have shown us, since Paw left us. He was a small man in stature but tall in his love for family, friends and neighbors. He was a man of few words but one of many emotions which he expressed openly when he helped others. He was a real man who never said ‘no’ to anyone. Asheville has lost one of the ‘greatest generation’ and he will be sorely missed. May his legacy of humility and devotion continue in all of us, as we remember him as ‘Paw’ in our own special ways.
My girls and I send our condolences to your family for your loss of a very fine man. He welcomed us to the neighborhood when we moved next to his home. He was always there when we had questions or help. God Bless Your Family. Ramona,Vikke Suttles and Debbie Ara
Just wanted you guys to know that you are in my prayers. Paw was a wonderful man. Much love to all.
