Onalaska, TX Friday, May 20, 2022 We have known Harold and Louise for over 30+ years. Their lives centered around their love for God and His Word. When we think of the Richeys we think of singing and praising the Lord. Harold loved to lead singing and it was his gift from God. Whenever there was a need, the Richey's always were there to help. I can picture Harold in Paradise singing his heart out.Shirley Davenport

Mesa, ID Wednesday, May 18, 2022 I am very thankful to have known Harold Richey when I was a young girl. My parents, Jim and Jeannine Holloway had worshipped with Harold and Louise and after they moved to the country in Missouri they took us to visit with Harold and his wonderful family. I am so grateful that a couple of years ago I was fortunate enough to come in touch with his daughter, Lorella and have had the privilege of knowing how Harold was. Now he is in heaven with my wonderful Christian husband who was also an amazing singer and song leader and I'm certain they are taking turns leading singing up there. May God bless all of his wonderful family and friends as we grieve and miss him.
