Not sure what to say?

My deepest sympathies to Cathe, Ruth, Denise, Eric, Jake, and Laney. I have so many fond memories of my beloved brother in law. Our trip to Myrtle Beach, Marco Island, and many weekends at the trailer in Lakeside/Marblehead boating & fishing will be in my heart forever. May you rest in peace and know that you were loved by all of us.

I am a dear friend of Richard`s mother, Ruth and sister Denise for almost 50 years and I just want to say I´m so very very sorry for the loss of Rich. I heard so many wonderful stories about him through the years. May he rest in everlasting peace

I love and miss you with all my heart and soul dad. I will never forget everything that you did for me over the years. You truly were the best father. I hope you're with Ryan and Grandpa having a good time.

As brothers go, you were the best. I hope you are finally at peace. You were always there to help answer my questions. I am especially grateful for the gift of Toula. I love you and miss you.

Love and miss you dad, thank you for teaching me everything you knew over our years together! I will be sure to pass onto Laney all the knolage you left with me. Next beer is on me when we see eachother again!

He was a nice man. Loved his dogs and did a great job training them. God grant him eternal rest.
