Gloria, Debbie and Dickie,

I am so sorry to hear of the sudden passing of Richard. He was truly a wonderful man with a huge heart. I will always remember the fun times our families shared - especially the way he teased my mother. He brightened up the room and made us laugh. He will be missed tremendously.
With My Sincerest Condolences,
