I also would like to thank Kaye and Richard for accepting me into their family. It was great having a big brother here that that would visit and joke around with me. The world has definitely lost a good one. I know heaven is shining a little brighter with him there. He will truly be missed by me and a lot of others. Until we meet again.

Richard Deal was a pillar of this community and will be forever cherished and missed. I have never met a such a unique person in all my life. Richard And helped me in more ways than i would ever dare to mention. Richard touched ever life he came in contact with and was such a blessing. I would not be anywhere close to where I am today without him. I know he’s in heaven and he will be forever missed.
Richard was someone I could depend on to make me laugh, think, and work! He was a great friend and I will keep his memory in my heart forever.
