Richard Cypress Sr
Class of 1953
Air Force, 20+ Years
September 11, 2001 is a day that all of America will remember as the day we suffered a great loss from the terrorist attacks. As a nation, America came together united and supported one another through that rough time. September 11, 2014, the Cypress family suffered a great loss with the passing of Richard Cypress Sr., a husband, father and friend of many, who served his country for 23 years in the United States Air Force. The Cypress Family: wife Yvonne, daughter Tiwana, son Richard Jr, son Scott and nephew Jayden would like to thank everyone for your prayers and support through this trying time. We will survive this just like America did 13 years ago, because we have the support of each other, our family and many friends. For those who knew Richard Cypress Sr (Dick) let’s not grieve his loss. Instead, let’s celebrate his life as that's how he would want to be remembered.
