So sad to hear of Richard's passing. My prayers go out to the family. My late husband (Earl) was a good friend of his in the 70's and as time went by we lost track of one another. He was a wonderful guy and funny at times.
God bless.

May the road rise to meet you, May the wind be always at your back, the sun shine warn upon your face, The rain fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again my old friend, May God hold you in the hollow of his hands. May you be in heaven an hour before the devil knows you're dead.
