Richard R. Cowles

Richard was officially my uncle, but to me he was so much more. He was the father I never had. He helped take care of me and my siblings from the day we were born. He was so full of love. He taught me compassion, which is why I teach special needs students to this day. I will love and remember you forever.

Love,
Winkie

I will never forget my Great Uncle Richard. He was such a joy and knew how to brighten my day. He was very gentle and loving. He was like a brother to me. I would help my grandma feed uncle Richie. I liked to do it for her because it made me happy. I will always love and miss him a lot.

Since he has passed on, I ask the Lord every holiday to tell him to have a great...
