Sorry to hear about Richey. He was a very special person to my parents. I will always be thankful for Karen and Richey being such wonderful neighbors to my parents. Richey did the sweetest thing each morning once my dad had cancer by going across the street to my parents house to move the newspaper next to the garage door so Dad could just lift the garage door and with his claw grabber get his newspaper. This small act of kindness meant so much and helped a sick man be able to read his paper...
