I am flooded with memories as I heard about Richard's passing. He was my very first boyfriend and I remember Jaynia and Miariam taking us out on "dates." I also remember the fun swimming parties in the beautiful backyard. I haven't seen Bugsby since our high school years. He was so much fun and a wonderful "first boyfriend." Sending my love to the family.
