Amazing Grace! Rev. Richard (Dick) Stanley Richards went to be with his Lord and Savior on November 18, 2016. Born in central Illinois on June 27, 1923, Dick fell in love with and married Daisy Carson on February 24, 1942. He bravely served in World War II; shortly after he became a minister and provided leadership in several rural communities for over 50 years; he delivered mail for the post office for over 30 years; and in retirement he volunteered for Hospice and the Southwest Missouri Office on Aging.

His attributes as an amazing husband, brother, father, grandfather, friend and minister will be greatly missed along with his amazing sense of humor!

The family will gather for a private graveside service in Bloomington, IL. Online condolences may be made at www.gormanscharpf.com .
