Richard Monroe York
June 27, 1932 - June 30, 2004
Richard Monroe York heard and answered his Savior’s call to come home on June 30, 2004, at the age of 72 years, 3 days. He was born on June 27, 1932, the youngest son of Clara Nadene Goodbar York Vansandt and Thomas Monroe York Jr. Richard now resides in his heavenly home with family and friends who have preceded him. He sings with the angels now and forever for his loving Lord.
Richard was born in Archie, Missouri. This gave him the oportunity to share his love of our country with schoolchildren as well. He did this by dressing in period costume and taking replica revolutionary flags to multiple local and city schools. During his presentations he would point out the changes the national flag went through as new states entered the Union. He loved to teach the children both respect and proper care of the American flag before presenting each of them with a miniature American flag to take home.
His love of community was shown in his dedication to the Archie Whirlwind sports programs. On weeknights he attended both home and away high school football and basketball games. He rarely missed a game during the last twenty-two years. Richard enjoyed videotaping the games and playing them on the First Baptist Church of Archie’s local cable TV channel for community shut-ins to view. Besides games, Richard also taped grade school and high school musical programs, plays and special programs that homebound grandparents might otherwise not be able to attend. Richard attended and graduated from Archie High School in 1950. For the past sixteen years, Richard has cheerfully served as the president of the Archie Alumni Association.
Richard was most defined by his love of God and dedication to spreading the Word through his actions and life. He was an active member of the First Baptist Church of Archie serving as both deacon and active choir member for 50 years, or as he put it “for as long as I can remember.” Richard also served as the Sunday school director for 32 years, in various capacities on numerous church and associational committees and as a Sunday school teacher in later years. Richard was also active in the Osage River Baptist Association throughout the years. He enjoyed going to the Southern Baptist and Missourians on Missions. Richard enjoyed traveling to various states and helping in the constructing of churches. They traveled together on many church and associational missions trips to help people, always spreading the Good News of Jesus Christ as they went.
Richard was a special man with a heart full of love. He never met a stranger he couldn’t talk to and he always tried to be a friend to all. He delighted in children and loved making them smile. He was a good and helpful neighbor and tried to represent Christ’s love to everyone he met. Richard was a wonderful father and good role model for his children. His home was open to anyone; it was full of love, laughter, music and a round of pitch if one cared to play cards. Throughout the years he enjoyed singing tenor in duets with his sister, Jean Sliffe. Richard loved to travel with his family and take in “God’s handiwork” as found in the various national parks of America.
Historical museums were always included along the way for his children because Richard loved history. He was an avid reader and began every morning by reading his Bible; he also enjoyed books on history, travel and any Louis L’Amour he could get his hands on. If he didn’t have a book in his hands he had a “National Geographic” or a “Reader’s Digest.”
Richard also enjoyed trout fishing at Roaring River State Park. He began going to the trout park with his brother fifty years ago and later shared this with his wife, family and friends. He enjoyed bringing his catch home to share with his friends and neighbors. In his later years, Richard came to love genealogy and often traveled on trips with his wife, Ruth, in search of the sometimes-elusive family history.
Richard York was preceded in death by his parents, Thomas York and Clara York Vansandt; one sister, Mildred Jean Sliffe; one sister-in-law, June York; three stepsisters-in-law, Cordell Brooner, Mabel Wigton and Shirley Brooner; a brother-in-law, Richard Gilliland; three stepbrothers-in-law, Orville Wigton, C.J. Ford and Newell Brooner.

Thomas Monroe York III and wife, Brenda; six grandchildren, Amanda and Adrienne Eatherton, Shanna, Courtney, Thomas and Abigail York; one brother, James York; one sister, Mary Graim and husband, Jack; two sisters-in-law, Sheri Gilliland and Mary Weston and husband, Kenneth; four stepsisters-in-law, Mildred Wigton, Mary Aileen Ford, Doris Phillips and husband, Harlan, Jewell Shanks and husband, Charles; and three stepbrothers-in-law, Glenn Brooner and wife, Mary, Albert Wigton, Howard Brooner; many nieces and nephews; and a host of friends.
