I Graduated with Richard back in 1973 from RMSH. He was true friend. I’m thankful I had the privilege of knowing him. My father, Billy Donaldson own Rocky Mount Auto Parts from 1969 until his retirement in the late 1990’s. I worked with my Dad as a delivery boy until I went to Liberty University. I would deliver Parts to Firestone and got to know Charles Eggers well. We often bought tires from him. Since I’m the same age as Richard, I ‘m seeing so many friends passing away into Eternity. I have been a Pastor for 53 years I live outside of North Myrtle Beach , SC. I can say one thing, ” Get Ready to Meet the Lord.” Never put off accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior. There is a Heaven to gain and a Hell to shun. Jesus loves you unconditionally! In Jesus name, Pastor Ricky Donaldson Associate Pastor Of Senior Adults at East Lumberton Baptist Church, Lumberton, NC.
