UPDATE:
The memorial service will be held this Friday, the 21st at 10 am at New Covenant (2700 S Blvd, Edmond, OK 73013). Burial will follow at 2 pm at Chapel Hill Cemetery. AMBUCS Big Hatters are encouraged to wear their hats.
Today, we share another difficult loss within our AMBUCS family as we remember Richard Nowlin. a devoted AMBUCS member whose passion for service touched generations of fellow members. Richard truly bled AMBUCS. A 1998–1999 Black Hatter, he held perfect conference attendance for decades until his health declined, a testament to his deep commitment to our mission and our community.
Richard became a member on November 1, 1983, and never stopped giving. He designed Big Hat conference pins for many years, served as the longtime Amtryke chair for OKC, and generously supported the future of therapy professionals as a Named Scholarship Donor.
His dedication, creativity, and unwavering love for AMBUCS leave a legacy that will be felt for years to come. Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of serving alongside him.
