Richard G. Little

Richard G. Little, age 55 of Grand Rapids, MI, passed away Thursday, April 6, 2017. He was preceded in death by his parents Bernard H. Little and Rolonde G. Salter. He is survived by his sister Michelle Little of Mountain View, CA; brother-in-law James A. Lovelace, niece Marie Edwards, and nephew Phillip Lovelace.  Rich had an uncommon sense of humor and humanity. Those whom he loved felt that intensely. He was competitive, but would rather you won. Richard was deeply devoted to his friends and will be forever missed by every life he touched; especially Bernard the cat. Rich was a proud representative of Emerson and as his fellow workers knew, devoted to his service of Bradford White Corporation.
