Richard C. Sanders

Richard met the love of his life, Donna, at the age of 20. For 56 years, she was his grounding force and the one to calm his bold spirit. Richard loved life and never missed the opportunity to reminisce about the past.

Donna I just found out Richard passed. My heart and prayers are with you and you family.
So sorry for your loss. Prayers for you and your family.
Donna, I was so sorry to hear of Richard’s passing. Richard and I went to school together from first grade through high school. In the 60’s we bowled in leagues together at the old Gateway Bowling Alley. He was a great guy and so much fun to be around. I haven’t seen Richard in many years but I have great memories of those times back in the day. May he rest in peace.
Richard was a good friend,we had a lot of good times fishing and playing black jack on trips to Vegas and Louisiana. I will truly miss you my friend. I know I will see you again. Fly high my friend.
So sorry to hear of Richards passing. Jack and I will keep you all lifted in prayers.
My deepest condolences to you. Richard was a great man. Always happy and could make you laugh. The last time I saw him, was in the doctor’s office. Reminiscing about things daddy did for him. Sold him the 105 property next to the store. I miss Randal too. Been on a few Vegas with them!
Peace be with you,
Brenda
