It is with deep sadness I tell you our sweet Richard Wells has passed away. He served as a Travelers Aid and American Tourist Volunteer for 13 years. He had a big heart and was always willing to pick up empty shifts and help out in any way he could. Best of all, he had a warm smile, wonderful laugh, and gave great hugs! Richard will be missed by all who knew him. Please keep his wife Linday and their children and grandchildren in your thoughts.Periann Pulliam
