Not sure what to say?

Uncle Richard -- While I'm sad I didn't get the chance to say goodbye, your positive influence on my life sustains. I hope to hear from one of the other folks who has posted here to learn more of the great things from your life.

Richard was certainly a cultural authority, great teacher and raconteur. I thoroughly enjoyed several seasons of Hortentius Academy and procured a CD series, which I plan to dive into upon retirement. God rest your soul, Richard!

Uncle Richard you were an inspiration to me throughout my life. You taught me the power of telling stories, taking accountability, and never stopping to live your best life. I'm so sorry I didn't have the chance to say goodbye. God bless and rest peacefully.

God's every grace and favor as you enter heaven! May Choirs of Angels announce your arrival with joy and thanksgiving!

Good by my fried you were top shelf ,R.I.P. and God Bless

Dearest Richard,

From my first year at Augustinian Academy at age 14 in 1963, to our final conversation on your last birthday, I shall always cherish our special friendship. Thank you, Richard, for your brilliance, your inspiration, your love, your life! I shall never forget you, my mentor and friend. May the loving God you mirrored in your life-journey, now shine upon you, and grant to you the fullness of Peace you desired and deserve.
I shall always remember you!

Dearest Richard,
Memories of you are golden and many. You may not know how much you influenced my young life but I will never forget .
Good-by to the life I used to live,
And the world I used to know
And kiss the hills for me, just once;
Now I am ready to go! Emily Dickinson
Bon voyage Richard.
Love, Joan Cassidy Roach

I owe my recovery to this dear man. In 1986 he did my intake and planted a seed. Just celebrated 32 years clean in May. Heaven gained an amazing Angel❤
