To the Hicks family --
Offering prayers to Annette, Gwen, Kim, Burt, all the grands and great-grands -- and special prayers for Alta -- sympathy for your loss. Richard will be missed at CBC. He was truly a person who believed in truth and doing everything he did "unto the Lord."

May the God of all comfort strengthen the family during this time of deep sorrow. Those who pass on, God keeps in his memory because they are precious in his eyes. My sincerest condolences. (Psalms 116:15)

My Uncle Richard was a kind and gentle soul. I never heard him raise his voice, never saw him angry. He loved his family unconditionally. I'm very sad that he is gone, but happy knowing he is in Heaven now, no more pain ever again.

Richard Hicks was my wife's older brother and was a good and decent man. He loved his family and was what I would describe as being a "salt of the earth" man......solid, dependable, God-fearing and always trying to do the right thing. He will be missed by all that knew and loved him.
