My deepest condolences to my cousins Richard and family. My Uncle Richard as I remember him was a man of principle, of strong character and integrity. It has been many years since I last saw him. But taken home by GOD, he will be missed and he was a gift to us all who knew him or wherever his spirt dwelt. .

In our lives we meet many good and gentle people. Our paths may cross only briefly but they remain in our hearts and minds. Richard was such a man: easy to talk to, accepting, generous, having all the qualities that make one cherished as a friend. My condolences to Linda, Richard Jr., and Angela. My prayer:
Oh, only Creator, who with wisdom and profound mercy order all things, and who give unto all that which is good, give rest, O Lord, to the soul of your servant, Richard, who has fallen asleep, for he did placed his trust in you, our Maker and our Fashioner and our God.
With the saints, O Christ-God, grant rest to the soul of your servant, Richard, in a place where there is no pain, no sorrow, no sighing, but only Everlasting Life.
May his memory be a blessing.
