RIP George Richey

Post by Jamie Stoner »

With sadness I just heard of Mr. Richey's passing. Private services have already been held as his death was on July 31 at the age of 74.

do tell jamie...was there a service at all that you know of? We deal with families every day in the funeral home that do things we dont understand and have no regard for anyone else that may need to memorialize...for whatever reason i dont know!

Tammy's exhibit will be opening soon here in Nashville at the CMHOF.

Hopefully her awards etc will now be donated by Tammys daughters to the CMHOF, I think that is going to happen
