We were saddened to here of your father's passing. I worked with Rick for several years at Lakehurst. We had a great time together and will always remember how pleasant of a person he was. Doug and Diane Samuel

Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to your family . Your dad was a Wonderful man. Wayne had the privilege of being his pastor when we were at West Fork several years ago. Wayne always enjoyed hearing his navy stories. Wayne was always amazed by the Blue Angels and one of the last times we saw your dad, he and Wayne had yet another conversation. It wasent but a few days Wayne received a print of The Blue Angels, he was like a kid at Christmas!! He immediately called your dad. It is now framed and hanging in his office, with precious memories of your dad every time Wayne looks at it. Prayers for you during this difficult time and for the days ahead.

It was a privilege to know Richard and Helen. They were faithful members of West Fork Baptist Church. We loved them dearly. May you be comforted in knowing that your Dad is with Jesus. Take care of Mrs. Helen.

To the Kostbar Family, I just want you to know Mr. Kostbar and Mrs. Kostbar were the best people. I appreciated both of them. Mr. Kostbar had the sweetest smile. When my husband suffered a stroke to his spinal column which left him a paraplegic, the church planned a fund raising meal for us using Mrs. Kostbar's recipes for German foods (pear pie). They will always be remembered and loved here. I know both of them were Christians and loved the lord. Now the Lord is saying to Mr. Kostbar, "Welcome home you good and faithful servant". Thank you for sharing them with us and for caring for them. I pray God can comfort you and help you during this time. I wish I could be there but I can't. Sincerely, Nancy Tabers

To the Kostbar Family we offer our sincere condolences upon the loss of your dear loved one. We are thankful to have ministered to Richard for the past five years at West Fork Baptist Church. He was a faithful member and was a blessing to us personally as well as to our church family. We have missed he and Mrs. Helen since their move, but are thankful for the time he had with his family. Now he"s home with Jesus and in that we rejoice. We pray that God will comfort your hearts and give you the peace the Bible speaks of in John 14:27. Sincerely, Randy and Karen Kuykendall

Helen, Please accept our sincere condolences on the passing of Richard. Hope your loving memories will help you and your family through this difficult time. Fondly, Rita and Allen
