He will be fondly remembered, and sadly missed by all who knew and loved him. Richard was preceded by his parents, Herbert & Dorothy Farmer, his wife Mary Katherine, and his brother Pete Farmer. He leaves his children, son John Farmer of Natchez, and daughter Elizabeth Buie of Seattle, WA; and four grandchildren, Katie, Ian, Eric, and Ethan, along with numerous friends, neighbors, clients, and associates through the years.
