The Last Laugh

by Jan Schroder

Bob Richey’s family and friends gathered this week to say farewell to the longtime Atlanta insurance executive. His five grandkids and three children – including my wife Jan – shared favorite stories of his well-lived life.

After guests left the funeral reception at our house Monday, his offspring huddled for a last round of storytelling. As they tired, Jan discovered a recording of a two-hour biographical interview her daughter Catherine had conducted with Bob for a high school project.

We listened with joy to Bob narrating his early years, the sadness a touch easier, knowing we could always hear his laugh again.
