I had not seen Richard for many years. But the memories of our Warhorse team of '76 are still strong. Richard always had a smile on his face and was a pleasure to be around. I regret not seeing him more recently. "As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends."

Melody,
Great sorrow over hearing of your loss. Our sympathy to you and your family. Richard's battle is over, but we will all miss his smile.

The world has lost two great men in such a few short days--we know that they are both in peace now. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you as we share in your grief.
Love,
Keith, Karen, Kyle,& Sabrina Bearden

Dear Melody, Blake, and Regan,
Richard was truly blessed to have the three of you in his life and you are all so blessed for having such a courageous husband and father. I have fond memories of Richard while growing up in Barnwell and the one thing that sticks out in my mind was that he always had such a pure heart. Matthew 5:8 says "Blessed are the pure in heart for they will see God."

I am so sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Sending you our deepest sympathy and praying for God's comfort and peace to surround you in your time of sorrow and in the days ahead.

Dear Melody, Blake and Regan,

We're deeply saddened over Richard's death. His loving spirit made an impact on each of us. You are in our prayers. May the Lord's presence and peace surround you.

Melody and Joey,
I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. I worked with all three of you guys at SRS for several years.
I trust that you will lean on God during your time of grief. God Bless you all.

Melody, Blake, Regan and Family,
My deepest sympathy in your loss. Richard was a wonderful person; he was kind and loving to everyone. He exemplified his faith through his long and courageous battle. I know you will miss him greatly; however, I hope you can take comfort in knowing his war is over and he is at peace in God's hands. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time of loss.

I am sorry to hear of the physical death of Richard. I have worked with him on several different occasions at SRS. I know first hand what a quality guy he is and I know where he is now. Last time I saw him was at Citadel orientation a year ago. God bless your family.

My family and I moved to Barnwell my junior year and I fell in with a quiet group of friends who were not in any "clique" at school. Richard was our quarterback for the school football team. We were worlds apart. However, he always spoke a "hey" or "hi" each time he met me in the hall. I have never forgotten that. He was not phony, he was kind. He will be missed.

You are in my thoughts and prayers. A big hug to you....they always make things better. I hope to see you next time I come to Barnwell. Love to you. Susie

We are sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
