He devoted countless hours in the Christian Ministry preaching throughout Colleton County. He faithfully served as the Walterboro Congregation Secretary, Accounts Servant, Trustee, and in other positions of responsibility over the past thirty-eight years. He also volunteered to assist or oversee various administrative departments for many circuit, district, and international conventions of Jehovah's Witnesses held through these years. Richard was always ready to share his knowledge of the Bible with others and as a result, he touched many lives in a positive way. Richard centered his life on activities to help others come to an accurate knowledge of Jehovah God and his Kingdom.
Survivors include his loving wife, Mrs. Patricia Boyce Shunk; and a son, William Randall Shunk and his wife, Patricia Jane Shunk of Columbia, Pennsylvania.
