Not sure what to say?

It has been almost one year from today since you left my dear friend. There has not been a day that passes that I don't think about you especially when I see a white box truck (Toy Box). I continue to always think about the memorable times that we spent together which will never be forgotten and have become part of who I have become. We will meet again someday and we will have lots of catching up to do. I always have a cold one in hand for you and you are never far from thought. Keep it right...

Lorie, Richie and family. I wanted to give you my deepest condolences for your loss. Rich was my best friend and more like a family member to me. I will sincerely miss his friendship, hardy hellos and big hugs. I truly believe he made the world a better place for all of us through his kindness and knowledge, which he was always eager to share. Please take care and stay in touch.

You left to soon my friend. You can never be replaced, you were one of a kind. You always looked out for me and always passed your life's advice down to me. Your friendship was very special and you left me with fond memories which I will remember and carry for a lifetime. You are here with me always and as we always said to each other "Keep it Right Side Up".
