I met Dick once in person and again over the phone a few times. He set up the security system at my parents' house. He was always very nice and after my father died Dick shared a lovely remembrance over the phone. I was very touched. It made my day and revealed a kind and discerning soul in Dick Provost.

To know Richard Provost was to love Richard Provost. A dear sweet gentleman who was loving, loyal, and funny, at the ready to sing and play guitar, while always dressed in style. He loved connecting with people through exchanging life stories and sharing passionately about his faith. I was fortunate to have known Richard for 55+ years, having him as my friend and loving him like a brother. Although he is deeply missed, I know Richard Provost is in a beautiful place with Jesus, and he is singing his heart out. My condolences to all who loved him. Love you, my brother. Maura

I heard last night that Richard had passed away after a diagnosis of lung cancer a few months ago. It is hard to believe he's gone as he was such a strong voice in the local men's Christian fellowship. He will be missed. "For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's."

I met Dick in the early 60's when we were both teenagers. My mom & Dick's mom were best friends, so mom would drive me, my brother & sister up to visit. Dick was my first "love". After a few years we ended up not going anymore and went our separate ways. About 6 years ago (after 53 years) Dick & I reunited. (I found his brother Danny on Facebook first). Dick came to visit me in August 2014 for the weekend. We had a wonderful time. Dick had his guitar, played and sang. I have great memories. He was a perfect gentleman and I will truly miss him and love him forever. RIP Dick ♥️

Dick, or “Provost” to everyone in the Mead family, said that he would always be there for me, and he was. I’m sorry that I could not be there for him in his time of need. He was a devoted friend to my brothers, Mac and Jerry, but I considered him a brother to me. I have so many stories of him I could write a book the size of the Bible. I will keep those stories and memories of him in my heart forever once the crack in it has mended. My deepest condolences to his other family. Love you Provost! Sally

Each loss leaves a _hol_y place
around us and within;
if we with care will enter there —
something may begin . . .
Between the gifts of death and life,
of shadow and of Sun —
divided by the finest knife
(and ultimately one) —
in wealth and want, through rest and toil,
by grace transcending skill,
by bread received from seed and soil,
by waters rough and still
and pastures green . . . as we pass through,
these realms of world and soul
long to transform — restoring to
their once and future whole.
Thank you, Dick, for meeting me
in your moving tune
within the Dance of All, as we
continue to commune . . .

I was saddened to hear of Richard’s death. I wanted to visit him in recovery. I hesitated because of all the turmoil. Now he’s happy in the Lord’s bosom and I’m just left here with regret. I only met Richard two years ago at church. At the men’s bible study it was apparent that he loved Jesus Christ. That made him my friend. He said once that lately he has been addressing his prayers to not just God and Jesus the Son, but also to the Holy Spirit. The Lord must have been drawing him closer even then. Last things I remember him saying was how much he loved the men’s bible study, and how much he looked forward to the meetings. I am sorry we did not become better friends, but I know the Glory of Heaven where you are, is far better than any friendship or comfort this world could have ever given. See you soon Richard.
