Uncle Wilbert...I forgot to tell you...I always remember hearing people say that when one family member leaves it's because they're making room for another member...well when you left us, your great-great nephew Rylen Cade Edwards decided to make his entrance on 9/17/2013 only weighing 1lb 7oz. He had you and our other family as his guardian angels watching over him and helping him fight to stay alive. I promise to tell him all about you...Love you and miss you much...your great-niece Kandice(Randy's daughter) and your great-great nephew Rylen aka Chopper

I will miss you, Wilbert. You were so much fun and your laugh was so contagious. You were always willing to help your family and friends. We'll never forget you.    Love, Yvette L. Polar (CA)

"Wow my dearest Unk "where do I begin....Nobody but you could have gone out being on the internet, I could have only imagine what you would have said if I told you "guh no I ain't now". There are so many fond memories of you. I remember you would come by on Saturday mornings and take us (Me,Lois & Cookie) for a ride on your motorcycle when we got to the corner you would say "when I lean you lean" I would be making breakfast preparing eggs and you would say fix Unk one over easy and don't break the yoak with a tall glass of milk. I could go on and on the stories I could tell. You were one in a million. There will never be another like you. I could only imagine you and Daddy(Clarence) saying "boy what they crying for we alrite". Save me a seat Unk next to you and daddy(Clarence) until we meet again. Forever in my heart your neice.

To the family of mr. Wilbert Richard 
God only takes the best, stay in prayer, and hold on to Gods hand he will take care of you. From the Charles family.

Uncle Wilbert was truly loved and cherished by all of us.  His warms smile and great sense of humor is what I loved most. He had a special place in my heart and he will be missed dearly.  I will keep you all lifted in prayers.

Unk, I will miss your kind and joyful spirit.  You kept me laughing each time we came in contact with each other.  I will definitely miss the enjoyable conversations we had on the phone when I would call and check on you.  My heart is filled with complete sadness at this time and I know you loved me.  I am praying for strength and peace for our family as we travel down this discomforting path of bereavement. Everlasting memories of you will never fade away.  Love ya A/F, Your Loving Neice

Brother, You will be greatly missed and I appreciate all the good times we had together.  I didn't think it will be this soon for you to leave me, but I will remember the fond memories we had a chance to share.  I will have the chance to see you for the last time in this life very soon, eventhough we will see each other again in GLORY!!   Always Love, Your Loving Brother "BUDDY"

Hi Roz and Niecy,

Uncle Wilbert will be missed especially by his nieces and nephews. His greatest assets were his beautiful smile and the unique way he could light up the room with his entrance.  We will always cherish those awesome memories we shared with our uncle.  Uncle Wilbert have fought the good fight, he has finished the race and have remained faithful, and now the prize awaits him, the Crown of Righteousness which the righteous Judge will give him on the day of his return. 2 Tim. 4:7.
Love you guys,
Lori Ann Richard Sholes

To the Richard Family,
I can recall when I first met Mr. Richard, my mother was the daycare provider for Anthony who at the time was just a baby and Wilbert was dropping him off at our house at about 6:00 a.m.  About a year later I met Michael Jones who is the nephew by marriage to the Richard family, I know that we mourn and try to cope with death. At first many people provide us with calls or come by and that helps so much. Suddenly it's over and everyone goes back to their own home, the caller's feel they have said all they can. 
There are many bible verses on death; you can rely on the word of God to get you through the tough and trying times that never seem to go away when a loved one goes home to be with the LORD.  
I can say Wilbert was fun to be around, always had a great story to brighten any event,  great smile, proud father .

Condolence to all his family,
Charlotte and Michaela Jones (Mike's wife)and my mom Myrna

Uncle Wilbert was one of kind and he will definitely be missed by ALL of us. If he didnt make you laugh, something was wrong with you. Those 'good ole' days we will treasure for the rest of our lives.  To my family, trust God as he will see Us through. I will continue to pray your strength through this time of bereavement.  Hugs and Kisses to each of you?????.   Roland, Sheila and the kids.

Wilbert, May you rest in God Arms.
My Condolences goes out to the family,
We love you.!
                                                     The Wilbert Family.(Fountain Valley CA}

Dear Roz and Niecy ... Our deepest condolences to you both in the loss of your father. We know that God is surrounding you with his comfort, love and a peace that surpasses all understanding.  Your father was a special person and will be remembered with a smile by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.  We send you our love and sympathy.

I often think of the time when I was a child spending the summer with your family. Uncle Wilbert was always kind.  One day, I was in the yard with him while he was tending the landscape.  He took the time to tell me the names of flowers and trees growing there and It is one of my precious memories.  May God bless you with many happy memories of time with your dad and grandfather.

Your smile and your jovial presence will be missed Uncle Wilbert. I know you are at peace and out of pain now. I will forever remember your special unannounced appearances to Oxnard, your spare of the moment trips taking us to who knows where and fixing you milk with lots of ice. You were truly a special Uncle that I will always remember and talk about. Love you forever Karen

May the comfort of God help you during this difficult time.

The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.  
Niecy & Roz we are praying for you. Rest in Peace Uncle Wilbert.

I am sorry to hear about Wilbert. He will forever be remembered in our thoughts and prayers. 
I love you all,
Bim

I apologize for having three entries I wasn't sure if they had been sent so I kept re doing it. Also forgive my type o on the word reflect (reflex). Lots of love to the family. Thoughts and prayers are and will always be with you. God bless

Uncle Wilbert had a special place in my heart. We all loved Uncle Wilbert in our own way. As children we were happy to have him visit; he made each of us feel special. This continued as we grew into adulthood.  We could always get a good laugh from him. Like Claudia said, we will never forget that laugh. I will also never forget his "fro"!  Like my daddy (Dave), Uncle Wilbert liked his cowboy hats, boots and jeans :-).

To my cousins, aunts and uncles, and extended family, let us find our way to Jesus. May you find comfort in God's Word that promises, “Blessed are they who mourn, for they shall be comforted”. Love you all.

Uncle Wilbert will sadly be missed and my  prayers will always be with my family.
Detra Richard( Baton Rouge,LA)

Know that my prayers are always with the family.

I will continue to pray for our entire family, that the salvation of the Lord  will take place in all of our hearts so that we will all be ready when our time come. My God comfort us all as we reflex on our times with Uncle Wilbert.
