I'll always remember you as my favorite uncle, the one who loved life and entertained us kids always and kept us laughing and wanting us to love life as he did. I can remember evenings at our house in Barling when he and Lawrence (eventually brothers-in-law) were cutting up and walking on their hands in the grass! That vision has popped into my head when I think of him.

My grandpa was a wonderful man. I remeber all the good time we used to have playing card games with him and dancing with him for his daily "workout" He is greatly missed but will continue to watch over the ones that loved him.

"At a time when words are hard to find----" I'm glad I could see the Family Memories Video on the Luginbuel web site. I never really knew Richard down through the years as we didn't live in the same place, but did enjoy knowing him in the last few years, and once we met, I felt I had known him always. That instant Baker connection!!!! Love and Prayer Connie

Grandpa, You will be missed more than words can describe. You are where you belong now though, as you are finally reunited with your true love. I love you.
