Richie was the sweetest man. He took me and my husband in when we really needed a place and he made us feel right at home. He'll always have a special place in our hearts. Think about him and miss him all the time. I only got to know him in his later years of life, but all the stories I've heard he was a loving, giving, hard working man and loved his dog Pepper like a child. Such a gentle soul. Miss you Richie Drake -Michelle & Matthew
