RIchard was my uncle (not by blood) but by my grandmother taking him in and treating him like a some since he was a kid. I am saddened by this news and feel ashamed that I didnt visit as much as I should. He was a very regimented man. That was my impression when I was a child staying with my memere (grandmother). He was a good man and this world lost a piece of decency.
