Not sure what to say?

I share the pain of Bethea family for the lost of Richard.
Sincerely, Maurizio

I had often thought about what happened to Richard in my adult life. We met back when. I was making my debut in 1969. Richard and I had a date where we ended up talking half way thru the night about so many things. He was such a nice guy. I knew he had gone to Vietnam and could tell from our brief friendship it had really impacted his life. I had always hoped he was happy somewhere. Now I know he is at peace and happy in Heaven. My love to the all the Betheas in their loss.

I'm really sad that Richard is no longer with us. We were friends for almost 60 years. He will be greatly missed by his family and all of his friends.

Offering my deepest sympathy in behalf of the King family. May the peace of God comfort you during this difficult time.

Take care old friend. Sorry we lost touch.

Richard and I rode to Northside High in car group together. Richard impressed me at that time as having life totally figured out. He always seemed at ease with any situation. Driving his stick shift, to save gas, he would shift from first to forth. Having been in the service and struggled with some experiences as well, I greatly appreciate the call to donate to the military fund. Richard was a lovely guy!

Tough, sad to hear with warm regards & memories to all his family & friends....Harry
