To The Family of Dick Mould,
I have fond memories of Dick, and you too Jean! I was the little Mexican boy that you guys made feel welcome when I came to Austin Wesleyan Church for VBS back in the 60's. Dick always had a welcoming smile for everyone, especially the kids! God bless you all for that!
My condolences to all the family. It is good to know that Dick has made it across that "Heavenly Shore and finding it Heaven!!" At this time, I pray that all of you will feel God's loving arms of comfort and love around you!

It was a pleasure to know Dick and to work with him in our church music. He will be missed. Our sympathy goes out to his family.

Dick was always so involved in music. I appreciated him so much at Big Bend UMC, when I was the music director, there, Dick would lead the choir from time to time when I was away, and held the tenor section together. When I came on staff at St. Andrew's UMC, it was so great to see Dick in the choir, there, as well!!
This past Sunday, I wore the necklace and earrings set he made for me, and thought of him.... little did I know, Dick was preparing to sing with the choir of angels in heaven..... May you rest in peace, my friend.
Blessings,

Dear Mould family,
Please accept our prayers of peace and comfort, as well as, thankfulness for a life well lived. My family has loved your family since the day Rich Johnstone walked into our hearts and home.
As one of your "beloved foster children" Rich, who is a member of our family by marriage to Rhonda, has shared with us the happy memories, precious love, and guidance you gave so freely. One of our favorite stories of Rich and Mr. Mould is the "dessert story" .... a fine example of grace, love, and humor.
May our Savior bless you with His assurance of a grand reunion, where there will be no tears or pain.
With love and respect,
Harold & Virginia Busby

We have been blessed knowing Dick. We first met Dick and Jean in the Discovery Adult Sunday School class at St. Andrew's United Methodist Church in Brandon FL. He always greeted friends with "Good Morning Sunshine" because he was always a positive person. Our wonderful memories of Dick are: meeting with him each Tuesday for our small Bible study group; sharing special dinners and hymn singing with our small group; playing golf together; sharing family stories with each other and celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary;
May God surround you, Jean, and your family with his peace and comfort. We love you, Bruce and Carol Menne

I can’t say enough good about the Mould family, Mr. Mould especially at this time. Our paths crossed when they lived in Sunnyland, IL and were active in the Wesleyan Church in Creve Coeur, IL. Of course, as a child I didn’t fully appreciate the investment they made, but now looking back I realize how valuable their contribution to my life has been. I’m thankful that my mother took me to church and while there, I spent quite a bit of time with Dick and Jean Mould. They embraced me in many ways, not the least inviting me into their home often on Sundays between morning service and evening service. They also were willing to be responsible for me when they took me to church camp where I made a more serious commitment to Christ. I had a long way to go after our ways parted, but they certainly were significant people in my journey. I’m sorry to hear of Mr. Mould’s passing, yet I am confident he has gone on to his reward. From my perspective, his was a life well-lived. Raquey (Ferrell) Sprangel
