Rich - I will stand tall this weekend, marching in your honor at the Simsbury Parade, just as we did together in the Enfield Parade more than a decade ago as members of CTARNG G104th Aviation. You were an outstanding Seargent and an outstanding friend, thank you for everything.

Richard, its been 7 long years since you've been gone and your birthday is in 2 days. Your time here was to short but who are we to questions what GODS plans are for our lives. He called you home without notice, HE wanted you to be with HIM, by HIS side. How I only wish that you were still here with us, especially for our son.

Richard had a noble and loving heart.

Eternal Lord God we pray for the peace of the world.

Grant that the sane and selfless councils may prevail in these places, and wherever there is warfare. For Jesus Christ's sake. Amen

Hi, Richard. How's heaven? I miss you and just wanted to let you know I will never forget. Love you, my friend.

Rich,
It's been 6 years today that you left us. You will never know how much your Auntie misses you and your beautiful smile. You were like my son instead of my nephew.Your photo is on my nightstand and I tell you good night each night. In the morning I wish you a great day in Heaven. Know that you are loved and missed by your family. God is so lucky - he gets to be with you now and enjoy your beautiful smile. I will always and forever love you.
