Richard was a wonderful person. My thoughts go out to the family and to Tammy for your loss. Richard and I had lots of laughs at work and often attended the movies in the park at the marina. When you spend everyday of the week with people they become more like family...Richard will be missed by his MODC family.- Georgia Canal-Palulis, March of Dimes Canada
