After all these years, there is not a time that a memory of Richard is not brought up by my boys who worked with him at AIC. Richard was a great friend to all of us and we remember him fondly. We miss the good times he provided and the smiles he caused both at work and off.
To his family, we still feel your loss. He loved you all deeply.
Rest in peace my friend.

My deepest sympathies are with you during this difficult time. Richard and I were classmates, band mates and friends at Huguenot High School. He knew how to be the life of the party whether we were practicing for competition or for a Friday performance. I know the Angels are rejoicing as they welcome him.
Richard, my friend rest in peace. I will miss you.

All of us will truly miss cuz Richard. We cannot forget the crazy things he would do or say and those Sunday calls to my mom to see, "what's for dinner". Richard kept everyone laughing all the time.

God saw Richard was getting tired, and the cure was not to be.
So He put His arms around him and said "Richard, come to me.
A golden heart stopped beating, his body went to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove, He only takes the best.
Our deepest sympathies go out to the family. Our entire family will miss Richard tremendously. Richard had a heart as big as the sky and he never met anyone that couldn't be a friend.
