In lieu of flowers, the family wishes you consider joining his potluck celebration after the services. One of Richard’s favorite events was a church potluck dinner, and it feels appropriate to celebrate his life with a potluck event.
The family of Richard Pfeil wishes to thank Pastor John and all of Memorial Baptist Church and his many friends who have been a part of his life.
