Not sure what to say?

Richard was as good a man as one could hope to know, a gentle man with a wonderful spirt that will be missed. I am so glad I had the chance to know him. I hope his life story is told by someone who knows all there is to tell.

Richard was a very good friend and was always open to providing advice and ideas to any project or endeavor. He will be missed.

Richard was a passionate man with a great work ethic. He was always willing to help out and contribute to solving problems or issues for his friends.

Dick was my fraternity Brother (Lambda Chi Alpha) at TCU. He was a funny and kind hearted man. I have many fond memories of him. My sincere sympathy goes out to the Ames family.

Richard was a wonderful friend and I will miss him dearly. Most of all I think I will miss all his crazy stories! My prayers are with you and your family . God bless you all.

Dick was a special and unusual person. I was a year ahead of him at TCU. He also was a special friend of my wife, Sue (Duncan) who was our fraternity Crescent Girl and in Dick's class.

Dick was a wonderful friend. We were fraternity brothers at TCU. His great sense of humor will be missed by all who knew him.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
The memories of the 60's will never be forgotten with Richard, Steve, and the Fanatics.

Dick was in my homeroom at Lamar, and his locker was by mine. I had gone to a different junior high than the students at Lamar, and so I knew no one our sophmore year. From the beginning, Dick was shyly friendly and always had something to tell me when we ran into each other at our lockers. He never knew how much that helped a scared 14-year-old who felt very out of place. God's blessings on you and your family as you adjust to this loss.
