We are deeply saddened by the sudden passing of Councilman-elect Neal Richard; a business owner and lifelong resident of Vermilion Parish. Neal’s interest in serving our community was one he had long considered; and his overwhelming victory on May 16 stands as a testament to the love and respect he earned across our community.
He led a life centered around family, and his vision was one of unity, grounded by his values of honesty, integrity and dependability. His kind soul and love for our community will be greatly missed by all who were fortunate enough to know and love him.
Please join me, the Abbeville City Council and the entire City of Abbeville Team in praying for our friend and colleague, Neal Richard, his family, friends and the Richard’s Meat Market family.
