My dad Millard Richey was a man who always tried to be a Christain.
I never heard him say a bad word and he treated people like he wanted to be treated.
He had a hard time in the younger days of his life . He married my mom
Alta Davis in 1933. It was during the great depression and he and my
Mom had a hard time making a living. I was born in 1935 and my Sister Virginia Ann was born in 1937. Later in the 1930s when times seemed
to becoming better , my mom was taken ill with T.B. She died 11-10-1942.
My dad was teaching school in 1942 when my mom died. The pay was very low. He continued to struggle to make a living and go to college and finally got his degree in elementry education.
During all these hard times he never lost faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.
I remember he taught sunday school and led the song service at the Freedom Baptist church.
He lived with his Dad and Mom until they died and then he lived alone until his death in 1980.
I could go on and on, but Daddy left a legacy that anyone would be proud of. I just hope when I leave this world , My 2 son's thinks the same of me.
