Sending condolences to Dick and the entire Callendar family during this most difficult time. My dad thought the world of Dick, so I have several memories of my dad mentioning Richard from stories they exchanged on the way to Ormet. Please know that you all are in my prayers.
Prayers for this precious family—so sorry for Elisabeth and Cynthia’s loss. Prayers—and May God comfort you in Jesus’ name, Amen
Your church Family. Church of God, Welch, WV
Elisabeth was one of my best students from age 5 until covid closed. I only knew Rick as a father. He surely was always calm and kind. It was obvious how much he loved his precious daughter. So much heartfelt love is sent to Elisabeth and the entire family. Prayers are sent in abundance.
I will always remember Rick. Deepest condolences and much love from the Groner and Watson families.
I will remember Rick’s sense of humor always. What a remarkable human being. My condolences to his loved ones.
Rick was my boss when I worked as a pharmacy technician in the late 80’s at Rite-Aid in Welch. I remember him fondly. He was the first person to suggest medical school for me. I attended medical school years later and realized that I had learned a lot from Rick when I was a technician. He will be missed.
No words can express the Heartfelt Sorrow we all share on the loss of your Dear Family. May God Bless the whole Callendar Family with Peace & Comfort.
Our Love & Prayers to you all.
I will miss the smiling face, kind conversations and the super intelligence of this man. He made a trip to Bradshaw Walgreen Pharmacy enjoyable. I hope he knew just what he meant to this community! He will sorely be missed! May God comfort his family.
We will surely miss him, Prayers are sent to the Family.
