Richard Wilson French is preceded in death by his parents, Malcom and Wilma, his son Corley, and his wives Nelda, Clara and Dorothy. Richard is survived by his children Lynn Messick, Kathryn King, Leslie French, and Trace French, plus many grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Richard established French Air Conditioning and enjoyed working until he was 87. He took off several months a year to travel in his RV in the fall/winter with Clara, then later with Nelda.
A special thank you to Mary, his dear friend, for all her love and care. The family is also appreciative of the excellent care provided by Trio Home Health, then Trio Hospice which allowed him to stay at home as he wished.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to the Second Baptist Church, 6701 S. Staples, Corpus Christi.
There will be a private burial in Edna Texas next to Clara.
