Diane and family...Richard was such a good and exuberant soul. I enjoyed the time spent with both of you since I've known you guys. It doesn't seem real that he's gone because his personality was sure destined to outlive us all. If there is anything at all I can do for you please let me know. God bless you, your family, and RIP to one of the most honest, smart, outgoing people I could know. Richard my friend...you will be missed.

Blue and Jennifer, I am so sorry for your loss!! The few times I was able to meet your dad he was quiet a character. He made me laugh and was very kind and had a big smile each time. He really loved you guys. I send you my love and sympathy to you and your family and will keep you in my thoughts and prayers in this time of sorry.
