Condolences to Richard Powers

Dear Faith Families, Friends, and Partners,

It is with great sadness that we inform you of the passing of Richard Powers (Dick). Dick passed away peacefully in the presence of his children on December 19, 2011. 

He was an integral and vital part of Faith International since its inception. His love for the world's vulnerable children was unmatched. We have lost not only a respected employee, a dear friend,  but also a loved father and grandfather.

Dick positively touched the lives of so many people including thousands of Faith families. His kindness, cheerfulness, compassion, and dedication made him one of the greatest assists at our agency. All of us that were fortunate enough to know and work with Dick benefited from his wisdom and love. His love for all of us put a smile on our faces everyday.

Dick leaves behind nothing but love and respect from families and friends. His spirit will forever inspire all of us at Faith International. In our sorrow, we express our great gratitude to Dick and honor his life, his concerns for the vulnerable children of the world and his contributions towards improving the lives of those less fortunate, and his enduring love for all of us and our Faith families.

Please send letters of condolences to Dick's family to faith@faithadopt.org or our office at:

Faith International Adoptions

We will forever love and miss Dick.
