Richard had a great love for spending time on the water. A true sailor at heart, spending most of his best years with his kids and grandkids or on his sailboat on Lake Murray.
We will forever miss his love and wittiness; until we see you again, we hope you know it’s been a lovely cruise and you are our forever spirit in the sky!
Richard is survived by his children, Melissa McChesney (Brandon) of Chapin, SC, Jason Bray of Chapin, SC, CC Acee (Wes) of Henderson, NV; nine grandchildren, Jonathan Driskell, Ian Driskell, Hayden Driskell, JT Driskell, Harper-Jase Bray, Maddox Acee, Lyla Mae McChesney, Nolan Acee and Gavin Banks McChesney due in a few weeks; his siblings, Skip Bray (Berna) of Mableton, GA, Patti Bray Albery (Roy) of Prosperity, SC, Sam Bray of Columbia, SC and Don Bray of Mableton, GA.
A private celebration of life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to American Cancer Society, 200 Center Point Circle, Suite 100, Columbia, SC 29210 or online at www.cancer.org/involved/donate.html.
