Read MoreI am so saddened to hear about the passing of Richard. I only met him on a few occasions. He taught for our department a number of years ago and recently visited the Center. He was a lovely man! My daughter who is an MSU student had him as a teacher last semester and loved him! I am so sorry for your loss.

He was a man you loved to love! We went to Bayley Ellard together, Class of 1968!
Always a quiet man with a big heart. Wish the family the comfort of knowing he is with God.
He will be missed because he loved people. I ask him to pray for us.

Susan I'm sorry for your loss,
There is so many memories I have of Richie.
I will always remember him for that long beard he use to have and the old panel truck he use to drive.
