Richard had a huge heart and a welcoming smile for all. You didn't have to be blood to be a part of his family, he had enough love for everyone. My deepest and most sincere condolences go out to his wife, Debbie, all of his children and grandchildren, including the ones Richard picked to be a Father and Grandfather too. You will be greatly missed by many many people.

Richard was a kind, loving and generous man. He welcomed his new wife's children into his life and home with open arms. The moment they said "I do" we were not his stepchildren, but his children! He rejoiced every mileston, whether it was big or small and made you feel special. He was the lowest paid, but best comedian I knew, loved to make you smile! He was very passionate about God and everyone he met would be a witness to his faith. We will see you soon Richard and thank you for being...
