It was a real privilege to meet and have Richard as my friend. Richard had a big heart and was always willing to help a friend in need. Richard appreciated his friends and was always there for them. Richard and. Shared many cups coffee, together and talked about life, his dreams, his family, his personal faith in Jesus Christ and his love for him. Richard was very intelligent and had great knowledge of many topics. He was a very handy man who had knowledge of repairing and building things. If Richard was not sure he would call his Dad Melvin and by the time they were finished speaking Richard would have the answer. Richard always shared his love for his mother and the lessons that she taught him regarding life and people. Whenever Richard would request Prayer for friends and family we would have a prayer together, If I or someone else need prayer he would pray and then say I am calling Fran. Now Fran had known Richard since his birth and has always been a close friend of the Lineman Family. Fran was a spiritual mentor to Richard and was always there for him and his great family. So many things to say. We were all shocked to hear of his sudden death. But Richard never feared death, he embraced cause he had an eternal hope that he had in his personal relationship with Jesus Christ his Lord and his Personal Saviour! Richard is in Heaven today sharing stories with his Mom and loved ones there. We miss him greatly but we know we see him again in eternity in Heaven. Love you, buddy, Your friend Pastor Jake McCrea
