My condelances to the family. Richard was a childhood friend of mind and I have fond memories of Richard, his brother Henry and several others in the Cedar Swamp area that had blue Allstate motor scooters that thought we were “Hell’s Angels”!
May he Rest In Peace
Prayers for your sweet family!
Bonita you have been in my thoughts since the day Laurie called me about Richard’s accident
Please know that you will continue to be in my prayers
So sorry for your loss. A great guy
To the family and friends of Richard Haddock. I pray that God will comfort you all in this time of grief, in Jesus’s name I pray.
Richard was a good friend of mine and a fellow SC State Constable. We shared a lot of memories and had many conversations while working as Constables. I will truly miss him. We had many conversations about me going to the Bahamas with him and do some scuba diving in the near future. I just never was able to fit it in my schedule.
It was an honor to train Richard to become a NRA Certified Pistol Instructor earlier this year. He was a good man and a fellow Clemson man.
Please accept my condolences on the loss of your loved one. I wanted to send you some comforting words based on a wonderful Bible promise. You can read that promise in your own Bible at Isaiah 25:8 and Revelation 21:4. Please also read John 5:28, 29 where Jesus said the time will come when he will call those in the grave back to life. He showed examples of this when he was on earth and resurrected persons back to the loving arms of their families. He even resurrected his dear friend Lazarus back to the loving arms of his sisters Mary and Martha. How comforting to know we can see our loved ones again in the future! I hope these messages from the Bible and your fond memories of your loved one will in time bring your family comfort and peace as you work your way through the days, weeks and months ahead.
