Read MoreRichard was a wonderful neighbor, very kind and caring person. We will miss him. When we moved across the street from Richard and Jean, they became our Birmingham parents. I am happy that I was able to make him gumbo the last time I visited him. He really enjoyed it. What a blessing.
Love you big!big !big!

It's with a sadden heart of Richard's transition into the bosom of God. He was truly an exceptional individual.
