Judy, Donna, Bob, Miranda, Chloe and Robert.
I always enjoyed watching Richard interact with his family. He was kind , loving and very proud of his family.He had a big smile, jolly laugh pleasant things to say. My favorite memory of him was watching him dance with Donna on her wedding day. His face showed all the love and pride he had for Donna. He will be missed by all he met.
