Mrs Brenda I will truly miss seeing Mr Richard and sitting with him in the garage talking about cars. He was one of my most favorite patients and I have been thinking about him since the last time I was there. I can take comfort knowing he is not sick anymore but I will surely miss him.

So sorry to hear the news of Richard's passing. Such a great man and person, who treated me like a son. My blessing and thoughts go out to Brenda, Angela and Malik; along with other family memories.
I hope and trust with God's strength and faith will help the family during this difficult time. I know the fond memories will help the most on those tougher days! ~Eddie

To both the Radford and Butler family: Uncle Richard will truly be missed by us all. God bless you all. I will always remember the story my mother used to tell me of Uncle Richard piling all the kids in his van and them sitting in tires as seats and when they returned every last one of them had a dozen donuts a peice. Uncle Richard touched all of us with his genuine love and kindness.
