Marlene, we were so sorry to hear of Richard's passing. The Yenchick family have a long history with Richard. He was great friends of my parents (Lee and Elmer) and went on more than a few trips with them and us over the years. He always had a smile on his face and always made you laugh. He would always ask about my Corvette and we'd talk about his T-bird. I think he played Santa at least 1 time and came to our house when we were kids. He loved to come and hang out at Dad's garage when he was still in business along with Smitty and my uncle George, who also worked for him at the funeral home for many years. They always opened up the house during the Dogwood parade for refreshments to the paraders and he rented the house next door to my Grandmother Elizabeth after they sold the garage. He was kind enough to come out of retirement for my Fathers funeral 10yrs ago, he will be missed by friends, family and the community.
Kay and Lee Yenchick
