My sincerest condolences to Dorothy and the family on the passing of Richard. Perhaps the attribute that I'll remember the most (among the many) about Richard was his Spirit-filled sermons from the pulpit! Regardless of the topic, his knowledge of the Word and his strength of conviction shone through, so clearly and brightly, and left a lasting memory and Christian influence on me (and on many other congregants, I'm sure!) "Well done, good and faithful servant!" He's with the Lord now, reaping the harvest of the seeds he's sown here on earth. See you later Richard, in the hereafter...!
Blessings to the family,
H. Monte Corwin

Richard and I were colleagues at the Global Community Centre in Kitchener-Waterloo. Global's mandate focused on international development issues and human rights. I joined Global in 1979. Richard was on staff as a volunteer through Mennonite Central Committee. He was responsible for Global's programs with churches in the Waterloo Region.
Whether the issue was the impact of Nestle's efforts to convince mothers in the Global South to use Nestle's infant formula instead of breast milk, the gap between rich and poor in the world or the apartheid system in South Africa, Richard had no doubt that we could all contribute to addressing these and other issues. He was a firm believer in responsible citizenship.
Richard's commitment to justice and peace was deeply rooted in his faith. I am grateful for having had the opportunity to work with Richard and to have called him a colleague and friend. .
My prayers and condolences to Dorothy and family.
Sincerely,
Stephen Allen
Toronto, ON

We are very saddened to have lost a dear friend and neighbor. Richard was a quiet warrior and amazed us with his strength and bravery while enduring this crippling disease. I have a picture in my mind of him waving to us as we left for Florida in October and of our many visits on the front porch. Our love to the family.

I will always remember Richard and Dorothy's warm welcome to us in Lesotho, in 1983. We road with Richard on a "cataract" run from one end of the country to the capital, Maseru. It wasn't a white water trip. No, it was to pick up folks with cataracts to bring them as almost blind for surgery and then return them seeing.
Then there was the reverse "missionary" letter requesting funding to them in Lesotho, offering to let anyone sponsor their children for ballet lessons.
I will always thank Richard for his deep love Graham Greene and introducing me to one of my favourite books (and movies) "Monsignor Quixote."
Richard has always been an inspiration to me in some how crossing all the class lines, starting with Global Community Centre, where he began educating the community about the "Third World" as it was called then; his passion for driving trucks, his love of classical music, his well-informed letters to the editor as recently as a month or two ago.
I am thankful I can count myself as one of Dorothy and Richard's friends for a long time.
with love,
Anna Hemmendinger
