My deepest condolences to the Baltz Family!
Richard’s smile will be greatly missed by all who knew him. I feel grateful for him having been my dear neighbour when I lived in Omar. Not once did I pass by his home without him waving. In the winter he used to ride his snowmobile around our property to make trails in the snow in order to make it easier for us to walk the dogs. He had the sweetest soul one can imagine.
Love and prayers, Christi from Germany

So sorry for your loss. I loved seeing him when he worked in the cafeteria at Gaffney and we would talk about racing. I’ve only seen him a few times in the last few years but he was still always smiling.
