Herbert E. Richards Obituary

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the death of Herbert E.

Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Herbert E. Richards to show support.

As we bid Herbert farewell, let us not mourn the absence of his physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of his spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Herbert is not truly gone, but merely transformed, his energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.

Thomas Blackstone wrote a sympathy message

“Herb's long and productive life is to be greatly celebrated- it brought many blessings to countless people and much glory to God. He has been a wonderful friend of the gospel to collaborate with on many mission projects around the world, perhaps most notably in Mongolia where he and Lola were greatly used to establish the very first Christian radio station there decades ago. He will be greatly missed by all. Tom & Stacy Blackstone and Gary & Mary Nelson with Galcom International USA”
