Richard was a wonderful person and a dear friend.I will miss him so much. My prayers and thoughts are with all the family and friends missing him

My condolences to the Smith family. May you find comfort from God's word recorded at Ecclesiastes 9:5,10 regarding the loss of your loved one.

My sympathy to Richard's family. I worked with him.

It was good to have Richard as a partner at Leeds and Pell City and friend for over 34 years. My sympathy goes out to the entire family. He was one of the good guys in law enforcement. Rest in peace.

I'll always love the closeness we had growing up. I trusted and confided in you because of your sound judgment. You made me laugh and were there
for me when I needed you most. I certainly enjoyed living next door
at the Lake and we had many joys hanging out. I will think of you daily and will hold you dear to my heart. You were a precious Brother and I'll look forward to seeing you in Heaven one fine day. 

Love Always,
Naomi Delores Smith - Sister

Richard was my dear weekend lake neighbor. My family, Martha and Butch Walker, Kirk, Opal, Bartlett and Liles Walker) will always remember lots of fun times and his delicious grilled food.  Thanks for the great memories, Richard.

Richard, you will be greatly missed by those who knew and loved you.  You are in a better place now and you can sing in heaven!

Richard was a true friend as well as a great brother. Richard was a protector and always looking out for everyone in the family but he was also the one that entertained the family and made them laugh.  I have a lot of good memories to fill the time until we meet again.

Richard, I remember when we won that dance contest. Will dance with you again  in heaven one day. Love and prayers.

John 14:1-4  Jesus Comforts  
“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me.  My Father's house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?  And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.  You know the way to the place where I am going.”
May God's ever present love and continuous blessings comfort you, Richard's family, as you go through this difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I am proud to say that Richard was one of my dearest friends … my Inglenook buddy.  Regrettably, as is true of many friendships, time and distance come between us.  But I know in my heart of hearts that our friendship never withered.  I was heartbroken to hear of Richard's death.  But knowing that many memories were made growing up in our community … the days at the little league field, fun times at the Big White Community House; and, of course, Richard's singing, a will far outshine my sadness and will forever bring a smile to my face.
I pray God's fragrant blessings and His healing spirit will comfort the Smith family, today, tomorrow and always.
See you some sweet day … RIP my friend!

Richard was my buddy.  He enjoyed working with him at the P.D.  he always had a smile on his face.  He will be missed.

You were the best neighbor that anyone could ever ask for! I also enjoyed listening to you sing "My Girl" at karaoke. You may be gone but you will never be forgotten. I will always have a special place in my heart for you. Prayers go out to your family, you will be greatly missed.

Was my pleasure to have spent many memorable hours with such a witty, fine individual as Richard was and a blessing to be part of his extended family of fine brothers and sister. May the Lord bless you and keep you until we meet again.

Hey Sarge,
You kicked out right before football season. Bet you got the best seat in the house now.I really enjoyed the talks we used to have.  I appreciated your backbone and not rolling over. I know you are in a better place but you left us too soon.

You were a Beloved and Cherished Brother and I'll always remember the many wonderful times and laughs we had together. A great Father, true Law Officer and not only my Brother but also a Friend at all times. You'll always be in my Heart. Miss you very much and will see you on the other side.
