Dear Marilyn, Diane and David,
So sorry for your loss. Richard was always very good to me and someone I looked up to. He was smart, athletic and charismatic. He had fists like anvils and always had that twinkle in his eye. I have many good memories spending time with RIchard and my father. Whenever we approached him he'd utter one of his favorite sayings, "now there's a pair that beats a full house." And the laughs would keep coming. Please accept my condolences and I wish you...

Dear Diane and David, so sorry for your loss. Richard was one of a kind, the life of every party and could put a smile on even the grouchiest face! He definitely lived his own life and Im betting had few regrets. I know you both have great memories!! Love and prayers, Dianne Frechette Strickland

My dear older fun loving cousin. If anyone knew how to put the living into life he was it. Ill miss you dearly and I know Heaven is rocking for sure with you in it. Love cousin Lois and family

Richard, you will missed...I was blessed to have had Richard in my life for over 20 years as part of his adopted Iowa family. Thank you for bringing love and joy into my mothers life and, for sharing so many family events with us. Your wonderful smile and laugh will be in my memory always. Love you!

Such an amazing man!

Richard was family and was around forever! We loved having him in our lives and hearing all his stories! He was an amazing man that won't be forgotten and will be remembered by our family forever! We love you, rest easy my friend!!! (his Iowa family)

Cooking, growing plants in his organic greenhouse, he did it all. Special man who liked to be happy & positive.
Beautiful memories in my heart! RIP dear man. d
