I just found out about Richard's passing. He was a member of Senior Care Adult Day Center for many years. I am employed there. Richard was a joy to be around a very kind and loving man. He never said a mean thing about anyone. Always had a smile on his face and the kindest eyes you would ever want to see. God Bless you Richard. You are truly in heaven with our Lord.

Love,
Diane

I am the Physical Therapist at Harlee Manor and SSC and just loved working with Richard. He was such a joy and always had that bright smile on his face. Even when his steps were difficult, he was determined and found a way to get to Bingo and every activity he could. He never gave up and was an inspiration to us all.Whenever I would give him the slightest gift, bag or something for his room, he would light up. It was my pleasure to work with him and will miss him very much. God bless him. Sincerely,
