We only found out today of Richard's passing. We are neighbors directly behind Richards home. Both of us are very shocked and saddened to hear this news. Although we have only known him a few years, our respect for him was immense. He was always a good neighbor and had a family that he was totally proud of. We talked about our children and grand children on some of the occasions we had to visit with each other.
Respectfully,
Bill Jordan
I was Richard's North Meck classmate 1966 I would occasionally see him at Belk years ago working on the elevators. He just very recently signed his name on my classmates page so I was shocked to see this. I remember Richard always having a smile and wonderful personality. My sincere condolences to Richard's family.
Linda and Family,
I am so sadden to hear of Richards passing. I knew Richard through the Mallard Creek VFD and meet him and Linda at the Firemans Association Banquet one year as I have worked with the Mecklenburg County Fire Marshal's Office for almost 18 years now. The many stories I have heard about Richard through the years the one that has stayed with me the most is what a caring man he was to so many people and the love for his family showed through that kindness heart he had. I hope the memories made through the years will give comfort to the Wallace family and friends in the coming days and months. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.

I am so sorry to hear of Richards passing. I have worked in the elevator industry for a long time and always enjoyed talking with him. I remember him coming to my dads house to get his union card when I was a little boy. I saw him just a couple months back and he was his usual self. Talking old elevator stories. He always asked about my mom and she remembers him fondly. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. God bless.
Dear Linda, Rusty & Dee Dee, Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time and our sincere condolences in the loss of Richard. I have fond memories of our childhood when we all got together for family reunions. Richard was a special person and he will be in our hearts always.

My prayers go out to the Wallace Family. Richard is a great person full of love for his family and friends. he will always be remembered by our Mallard Creek Family.
I have many child hood memories growing up with his childrenand my heart goes out to DeeDee and Rusty.
Ms. Linda, Rusty and Dee Dee,
Our deepest thoughts and prayers go out to all of you. I pray God will give you the peace in your heart that you will need to get beyond this point and through the rest of your life. Just know that you are never alone. You can always reach out and hold on to the strength of God. He will always be there for you.
I had a great opportunity to work with Richard at Otis. He was always there to help anybody he could by being a wealth of knowledge and a good friend. One thing about Richard, if you didn't want to know the truth or how he felt about something, you better not ask. I loved him as a brother and I also will miss him. We lost one of the "Good Ones".
If my wife and I can do anything to help, please call. Rusty has my number.
My deepest sympathy,
Love and Prayers
Steve and Becky
I am so sorry for your loss. We never know when our heavenly father will call us home. I will keep the Wallace family in my prayers.
Our sincere sympathies to all on Richard's death. We don't now live in Mallard Creek, but it's home to us!
Linda, Dee-Dee, and Rusty,
Mike and I are still stunned to hear that Richard is now living in a happy place free of pain. He was a special person to our family and we are so sad that his smile and laughter will not be around for you his special little family to hear and also for the rest of his many friends. Mike and Richard went way back to elementary school years and I was very fortunate to meet Linda and him when Mike and I got married. The many stories shared always caused a smile on our faces. He had a heart of gold as evidenced by the many friends and family members that lives were touched by Richard. Richard's mother prepared special meals for me when our babies were born at Presbyterian as she knew Mike ate them and got me hot dogs! Richard poked his head in and was so proud that Mike had a son. So many memories will keep him always alive and we are blessed to have known him and Linda, Dee Dee and Rusty. God be with the family and grand children as Richard loved them to the end of the earth. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this stressful time, but memories love and faith will endure.
Mike and Lucy Drake
