Not sure what to say?

I'm thinking of you today; I'm hoping you can hear me. I can't believe you're no longer at my side. Elliott has become my TV Remote Coach. You'd be proud of me! With Elliott's help, I am actually navigating my way finding not only the regular TV Channels; but, I can use the Apple Remote, too ! (LOL) I hope this makes you smile. I know you're running with the Angels. Love you. me

We will miss you!

Richard was such a kindhearted soul that truly loved his family and friends. We will miss him dearly!

I was saddened to hear this news. I have such fond memories of Richard and your family going back to Kilgour days. I too remember his wonderful sense of humor, his love for his family and the respect he earned as a city leader. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

May fond memories of Richard bring you comfort during this hard time in your life. Look back on all the good memories you were able to have and smile at the fact you were able to share these before he passed away. We will remember all the fun we had down in Vegas these last years.
