Thank you, Richard, for your service to our country.

We knew Richard through various family functions of the Schoedel family. Lots of memories. Our hearts and prayers and sympathy go out to the family.

Richard and I were in the same home room in the 1950 class at Austin High School, and I would visit with him when he was on the Drag at the Daisy Shoe Store.

Loyal Forever,

Roger Scarborough

Richard and I worked together at Merritt,Shaefer and Brown in the 1980's, We felt like we were part of a family and alot of us continued to stay in touch after we moved on to other jobs. We sent each other Christmas and Birthday cards for years and sometimes talked on the phone. He was very thoughtful! It was only within the last year or so that we started to lose touch. Last week we received a letter from

We sent each other Christmas and Birthday cards for years and sometimes talked on the phone. He was very thoughtful! It was only within the last year or so that we started to lose touch. Last week we received a letter from him informing us of his illness. Later we talked on the phone we traded family news. We have all been blessed by having him in our lives and will forever remember him and Emma with fondness.Good-bye Dear Friend, Yolanda

From Frances Warner: Richard and Emma were our neighbors on Barbara Street, and lived across the street from us. Our kids grew up with their kids, went to school together, attended weddings, baby showers, etc for over 45 years. Richard was a good man, and his wife Emma was the best. Richard and Emma babysitted our 2 youngest kids (Jaime and Sherry Warner) for many years. We all have alot of fond and wonderful memories, that we will never forget.

From Sherry Warner: Richard and Emma were the best. They always looked out for us kids, and we were all good friends. I have great memories of Richard (and Emma). When Emma used to babysit me in the 1st-5th grade, Richard and Emma would be waiting for me to get home and they would come out and meet me. Richard was always concerned that I had a "snack" after school, and he would make me a bologne sandwich and would always find me something sweet to eat. Emma always had good snacks around the house. I can still see Richard and Emma and all of their kids around that big table in kitchen. They would either be eating supper, or Emma would be at the sewing machine making clothes and uniforms. Richard always let me go in their backyard and play with their pet rabbit "Marshmallow". I can still see Richard sitting in the living room, watching the TV. I also remember when I got married in 1989, Emma was pretty sick and could hardly get around. Richard called me and told me that Emma and Diane were coming to my wedding, but he would not be able to. In came Emma (barely getting around), and her daughter Diane. Emma told me she would not have missed my wedding for anything. I will always remember that. Richard, I know that you are in heaven now with Emma. What a joyous reunion that was!
God's blessings and love, Sherry Warner

Richard will be missed.
He was a good friend to my mom and dad they have been neighbors for as long as I can remember. We all had tons of laughs when we were younger. I will cherish those memories forever. I will also miss the Christmas card Richard would send me every year.

You are all in my thoughts and prayers your dad was a great person. He will be missed.
