Bob and Nancy - so sorry to read about Richard's passing, he was a very nice guy. I have many good memories of living across the street from your family at 117th & Princeton. Your parents and my parents were such good friends, and remained that way even after moving from the neighborhood.

Richard was the oldest of our generation of cousins. I remember him as being intelligent and good looking. As his younger cousin I was very fond of him and thought he was a special guy. I still do. May he rest in peace.
