I met Dick back in the mid-90s when he joined me and a handful of other Marines in starting Marine Corps League detachment. Dick’s contribution in the very early days of the unit were absolutely critical. If I remember correctly, Dick helped pick our name to honor Korean War veterans (including him and several other members of our unit). Dick was not only one of the earliest members, he was one of the most committed and loyal, and he was a fund raising champ. He was such a solid guy; I really enjoyed getting to know him, and having him as part of our organization. I wanted you to know the significance of our loss at his passing. I will miss him, but I look forward to recognizing his contribution by including him in the rolls of our departed members read at the conclusion of every meeting.

I was fortunate to know "Mr. Ratliff" for the past few years. I always call Bob and Richard "Mr. Ratliff" because I would get them confused. He cut me some slack because there is a Ratliff at every turn here in Waynesville. Richard would always give me kind advice and had a knowing smile. I will remember him for his kindness, easy going nature, and his snappy (funny) comments during the monthly meetings. It was an honor to know him, and it was even a greater honor to be with him and his family for his funeral services yesterday. God Bless##imported-begin##Rod Eversole##imported-end##
