    Notes:

    Name:
    Richard Slosson (84) of Waynesboro entered life eternal after a valiant four-year long struggle against dementia. Richard was born in 1937 to William and Grace Wright Slosson of Hornell, New York, moving to Virginia at an early age. He graduated from Rockfish Valley High School in 1955, and married Katherine Morelle Kennedy of Batesville.

    Richard and Morelle would journey together through life for some 65 years, participating actively throughout all those years together as members of Batesville United Methodist Church. Churchman and carpenter, Richard worked as an apprentice and then journeyman carpenter and then joined the newly founded R.D. Wade Builder, Inc. in 1965. Working with Randy Wade for 35 years, Richard advanced to being a master trim carpenter, job site supervisor, draftsman, and finally as a home designer and operations manager for the company. Richard led the transition from paper-based to computer-aided design, helping to design and build hundreds of homes in Virginia.

    In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by three brothers (Billy, Jimmy, and Russell) and two sisters (Buddy and Virginia Lee).

    Richard is survived by his loving wife Morelle and two happily married children Rick Slosson and his wife Marylee (Martin) and Debbie Slosson Carlson and her husband Eric. Together they have three grandchildren Scott Slosson (wife Sarah) of Phoenix Maryland, Megan Shorb (husband Alex) of Sparks Maryland, and Joshua Carlson of Goochland Virginia. Richard and Morelle are great grandparents of James, Callie, and Bryce Slosson, and Charlie and Lucy Jane Shorb.
