Richard was living at Fredricka Manor Retirement Community in Chula Vista.
He had a fall on April 29th that lead to unexpected complications.
Surrounded by family holding his hands in person, via phone and on Skype, he passed peacefully on May 7th.
His transition was filled with love as we sang some of his favorite songs.

He was expressing love and gratitude for his life and relationships up until the very end.

So sorry for your family's loss. I always respected his down-to-earth sense and approach to life interjected with humor.
Joan Goodchild (Elliott) (1962)
Mr. Plache married my husband and me in 1967. We will always remember him, and of course have pictures of him in our wedding album. Someonw else was to marry us but could not at the last minute. We called Mr. Plache and he said he would be right over. He came with a big smile, which he always had, and did a beautiful ceremony. We will ALWAYS remember him. Joan Goodchild Elliott

Richard Plache memory
Mr. Plache was teaching the class of 1964 a Bible class. He was showing us some historic teeth/fangs.
He said he was tempted to put them in his mouth........And in the next moment.....he did just that... And the class burst out laughing at the unexpected impromptu act.
Sylvia Jones (Stein) (1967)
Richard Plache was my first WWCG pastor. I am so sorry to see this. Always enjoyed his sense of humor and style. Condolences to all the family. Jonathan and Sharon I do remember you well.
