Diana and Family
I was really sorry to hear of Richard's passing. He was one of my favorite people - not because he used to give me cards for Secretary's Day, or that he was always ready to work overtime when I called, or that he always had a smile and a good word to say whenever I saw him, but because deep down he was a GREAT and GOOD person who will really be missed. Rest in Peace"Beetle"!

Diana & Family,
So sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers go out to you in this difficult time.
Richard was one of kind, and a pleasure being around. I count him as one of my good friends. I always loved to talk with him about his adventures on the Appalachian Trail. He really had a passion for hiking, seeing our beautiful country, and being part of nature. You could just see his eyes light up. I know he will missed by all those who had the pleasure of knowing him.
Sincere Condolences;
Tuesday Night Dinner Gang member, and fellow ALCOA Electrician,

To Richard's FA.
I too was an electrician at ALCOA. Richard was one of my journeyman before I served out. We all called him Beetle Bailey. I ran into him around Spurgeon when I had my company Haubstadt Electric Corp. He was a fine person and a good teacher and electrician. May he rest in peace.
