Read MoreRichard was an fun loving person who was always willing to work hard. I remember him floating on Russell Creek on July 4th. He was always laughing and willing to help. We had many fun nights and days partying at Brick House. He was an animal lover and had a kind heart. Family was important to him and I was lucky enough to be included. He will be remembered.
