Springer family I am so sorry for your recent loss of Richard. Losing a loved one is one of the most difficult times for a family to go through. I hope you find comfort in the resurrection promise. At Acts 24:15 we are promised to see our loved ones again. Won't it be wonderful to see that time come true? That scripture brought me peace when my father-n-law passed away. And I hope it will bring peace and comfort to your family.

Laurie,Mike,Matt and all your family,

Words cannot express how hard it is to lose a spouse/parent, I wish I could say it gets easier over time or he is in a better place but that doesn't take the hurt from your heart. Rick was an amazing man as I'm sure you know and have been told by thousands of people by now, his memory will live on in this town forever. Sorry we couldn't make it to calling hours or services. Know we are thinking you and your family and our prayers are with you. Ray, Jayme, and Walker Poorbaugh

It was a joy to spend my lunch breaks with you guys and I always got a kick when u yelled at billy for using too much ketchup for his French fries at lunch. I'm glad I got to know you. See you again maybe in the go around. Love Denver

There are no words that are appropriate at this time, just know I will keep the family in my prayers and while it's hard to face this and say goodbye it's knowing he no longer is suffering and is at peace that will carry you through. No one can take your memories and he left you with a lot of good ones. God Bless you. Anyone from Sebring and surrounding areas knows the good he did for many. It's a family tradition.
