Richard was a big part of our family. We are going to miss the chats on the phone Sorry we didn't make it down to see him one last time but he will always be a part of our family. This guy was one of the best uncle figures my kids had and also one of the best brother figures my husband had. We are sure going to miss his great since of humor.
God Bless

Richard was a very good neighbor to my mother. The time he spent talking and visiting with her was always appreciated. They would sit outside her little home and talk about life. I know she aways enjoyed his company. His concern for others will always be remembered.
