Richard and his brother Ed were two of the best men I was blessed to know. I worked with Ed at a few restaurants over the years where he was a chef and knew Richard, during his time at Panaia's Jewelery Loft in Springfield. Sad still, to this day, these two men are no longer with us. Gods Speed gentlemen. Dan
