Richard Kinder Obituary, Death Cause – It is with heavy hearts that we bid farewell to a cherished member of our Allen’s family, Richard Kinder, the long-time Manager of our Butcher and Meat department. Richard, who joined us about 15 years ago, not only excelled as a skilled butcher but also endeared himself to all as a genuine and irreplaceable friend. In 2012, Richard’s exceptional leadership and the dedication of his team earned them the prestigious trophy for being the best

Meat department among the 600 stores serviced by our supplier AWG’s Springfield, Missouri division. It was a moment of immense pride for all of us, a testament to Richard’s commitment to excellence. However, beyond his professional accomplishments, Richard’s true legacy lies in the warmth and kindness he shared with everyone. As seen in the attached photo, his camaraderie with his team reflected the genuine connections he fostered. Richard was not just a manager; he was the best of the best, both as a butcher and as a friend.

We extend our deepest condolences to Richard’s wife Tina, his daughters, and his entire family during this difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with them as they navigate the pain of his loss. Richard will be forever remembered and loved by all of us at Allen’s. As we say our goodbyes, we thank Richard for being more than just a colleague – for being a friend. Godspeed, Brother. Your memory will live on, and we promise to never forget the impact you had on our lives and the legacy you leave behind.
