Submitted by jcht2010 on
Richard W. Dunham, of Edna, known affectionately to all as “Rick”, passed away Wednesday night July 1, 2015. He was surrounded by his wife of 48 years, Donna, and his children. 
His service to God throughout his life was what he would want most to be remembered. He served at Robinson Street church of Christ as an elder for several years until his battle with cancer. What most people recall about Rick was his sense of humor. He loved to have fun and joke around, and he chose happiness in every situation. He could make anyone laugh and feel included. He was warm and kind and generous of spirit.
