Dear Family,
I was very saddened to hear of your dad moving on back to heaven so soon. I'm sure our dad's are having a grand time, and we will all have a blessed reunion over yonder one of these days. I sincerely apologize for missing all of the events scheduled in his honor. Some days people get all wrapped up in their everyday functions, and affairs that just getting out of the door on time for work is a major task. I'm so thankful to have known your dad. I can remember when our family first moved to Powder Springs. Playing, and visiting at the Sailors home well was just about like being at one's own home. Your entire family has always been kind, and Loving to me. That comes from proper upbringing. Your Patriarch will be sadly missed, but we can rejoice in knowing that he knew Jesus. Thank you for being there when our dad went on back home. I had no idea of the past few days events, and wondered why the "OPEN" sign wasn't on today at the store, as we travel that a way heading to assignments on Fulton Industrial. My heart goes out to you all. Thank You ALL for making us part of your family. With deepest sympathy, and happy rejoicing at the same time, knowing we'll all see each other again over yonder, Peace, Love, an Grace, be with you all. Mark-Eric Cumberland Arnold Sr.

My prayers are for comfort and peace of heart in your loss. Your family is extremely blessed. You and Richard raised kind, gracious and beautiful children, Dale. Even as a teenager I remember appreciating what a wonderful, loving family you were and I thank you for sharing a touch of it in my life. I love you Jill and Jan. My heart goes out to you in your loss.
Sincerely,

A loyal and faithful friend for 44 years, as co workers we spent a lot of time together, shared many thoughts and experiences, some community service. He was the greatest family man, he lived by the golden rule always showing kindness and uplifting.
I will always remember and treasure that friendship.
I am praying for peace and comfort for his family.
Mayor Sailors presented to me my crown and banner for Mrs. West Cobb County for the Mrs. Georgia International Pageant. He gave me a Key To The City and proclaimed Sunday, April 21, 1996 Mrs. West Cobb County Day.
He was such a nice man and did a wonderful job. He will be missed.

So sorry to hear this news. Keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers. May God comfort you during this time.
We worked in Richard's mayoral campaign as well as my husband being on the Powder Springs Planning and Zoning Committee. We found out what a great friend he was and got to know his family. His son, Rick, lived next door to us in Powder Springs. We counted all the Sailors as good friends and were so sorry to hear of Richard's passing. We're sure he will be missed by many. God Bless Dale.
