Wyman “Richard” Rohde was a member of Mims Springs Baptist Church since the age of 14. He was a proud graduate of the Class of 1941 from Logansport High School. Lifelong resident of Logansport, LA.

He always enjoyed working with his hands from raising chickens, to gardening and carpentry work and mowing the yard. He loved to read and explore the world through books; sitting on the porch swing was one of his favorite things to do. Independence was one thing that he cherished and never gave up on!

Preceding Richard in death were his parents Louis and Barbara H. Rohde; sister, Betty Jane Rohde Savage and nephew, Jacky L. Dickerson.
 
Those left behind to cherish his memory are nephew James R. Savage and wife Linda, nieces Jere Guillotte and husband Jim, Teresa Dickerson; great nephews and nieces, Jennifer Wheless and husband JC, Julie David and husband Chance, Robert Guillotte, Sam Savage, Gregg Savage and wife Angel, Josh Savage; six great great nephews and nieces; and a host of cousins and friends.
