  • Notes 
    • Richard's obituary states his mother is Marlene Faye (Anderson) Drullinger.

      Note: Because Richard was born almost ten years prior to his mother, Marlene's marriage to Lewis Leroy Drullinger in 1968, then it would make sense that Richard was her son from a prior relationship with Lewis adopting him sometime after he and Marlene were married. Richard's son stated to me in a 2020 telephone conversation that his father was adopted if I understood him correctly at the time. David H. Drollinger 27 Jul 2024

      Richard's obituary states his sister, Twila who was also killed in the same car accident as his mother, Marlene.
