Recent Contacts crashes

RICPUM66

Whenever I select the Recent tab in the Contacts app, the app instantly crashes with the message, "Unfortunately, Contacts has stopped."

I have looked for a way to clear the Recent list, in case that would help, but I can't find a way to do this. I have tried closing all apps and have rebooted the phone multiple times. This has been going on for a few weeks now.

I am using a Samsung Galaxy S5 running Android 6.0.1, security patch June 1, 2016.
