It's been a over a year now, but your presence is missed. We never got a chance to sit in the shade in retirement and reminisce about the "Good Old Days". The world is a lesser place without you.

Dad,
I Can't begin to tell you what you mean to me and as I have been reading... All the other lives that you have impacted along the way, its got to be the most devastating things that I have ever felt in my lifetime but I want to share with all the people that write in this guestbook- The thing that my father said to me & is one of the last things my dad ever said to me was -
"Just make me proud son, that's all I ask... Just make me proud son".
34yrs jus wasn't long enough pops.. I have Sooo many things that I had to say to you, "I MISS YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO... BAD- I LOVE YOU DAD & I WILL SEE YOU AGAIN- "
Love
Dino~

I worked with Richard for about 5 years and as his "Supervisor" for a little over 2 years. Richard was always the first to volunter to help out or to fix anything. He was a big part of the glue that has kept the California Production Group together and will be sorely missed.
Heather & I will have a MaiTai in your memory, Friday at sunset on the beach in Kailua.
Goodby my friend!

Richard was a pleasure to be around at work or at play. He always had a smile or a joke to share and gave of his time unselfishly whenever asked. He was one of a kind. My prayers are with him and his family.

I've only known Richard for the last four years, but in that time I felt like I've known him much longer. He always spoke his mind, but always with respect and humor. He was a person of integrity, dignity and honor and always had a sense of what's right. Richard had all the qualities one hopes for in a friend. I consider him my good friend. I will miss him. My sympathies to Richard's entire family.

I am very saddened to hear of Richard's passing. Although I'd only had the opportunity to work with him for a few short years, in that time, I found him to be a superb engineer -- the guy could fix anything -- and a very friendly fellow. I had the utmost respect for his talent and personality. Conversations with Richard were treasure troves, because he had such a major role in the cable history of the Central Valley: he knew everybody, and pretty much built everything. Wherever we went, Richard had some story about its television infancy. His loss is immeasurable. I never had the chance to meet his family, but my prayers go out to them in this difficult time. I hope that the celebration of his life, his accomplishments, and his legacy will outshine any grief or regrets. May God richly bless Richard's family and friends.

Richard was such a great person. His love for his family, his community and his country were so very strong and important in his life. I worked with him for many years at the Yuba County Sheriff's Office- he was always so dependable, honest and devoted to the department. I am truly sorry to read of his death and will pray for him and his family. His death has, and will touch, many more lives as time goes on. He will be missed by many family members, friends and colleagues.

Richard was a joy to work with. He was the best at what he did and knew how to have fun doing it. There was no one like him. His passing creates a vacancy that cannot be filled.
