What a wonderful brother, friend and frat brother. Richard was the one brother who introduce me to the fraternity and what the brother of Omega stood for and his main focus was always scholarship. I remember Richard tutoring me to pull up my grade point average to make it possible to be a part of the fall 1974 Pledge line.
I will truly miss this quit GIANT brother who got things done without making a lot of noise.
By no means I am saying Richard was quite. He would talk to you for hours.
Rest In Peace my brother.
