I think of Richard often when I ride my bike pass his house on Brosche Road in Azalea Park. He was a good friend for many years and his mom let me visit with them while my mom worked as a nurse at Azalea Park Elementary school. We would play down by the lake behind his house, Lk Barton.

Dana and family, I am saddened to hear of Richard´s passing. It was an honor and pleasure working with him at the Rocket Ranch. His skill and dedication ensured a successful Shuttle program. May the Lord bring you peace and comfort during this difficult time. Ad Astra.

Dear Dana and family, Chuck and I are deeply saddened to hear of Richard´s passing. We have fond memories of our time as neighbors. Chuck wanted to especially convey how much he enjoyed working with Richard at NASA and how much he appreciated his knowledge and communication skills in a very tough technical environment . We both have fond memories of your annual gift of the delicious chocolate cake! May God´s peace and love surround you all during this difficult time. Chuck and Debbie Brown

Dear Dana & family. We were so surprised and saddened by Richard's passing. We have so many fond memories of you and him and well-remember your wedding day. Another shock was the passing on Dec 30 of Ken Weisz. Please know that your family are in our prayers. Surely as kind and loving soul as his was welcomed by our Lord into paradise. Please stay strong in the Lord. Chuck & Gail McLaughlin

You were such a sweet kind soul I will cherish all our childhood memories and the last memories of riding our bikes together for MS. I send all my love to his wife, children and grandchildren. He was one of the best

As much as he will be missed, a person is never really gone because the memories we have of our time spent with them live on. My earliest memories of Uncle Richard are meeting him for the first time before you were married. The two of you stopped by our house in St. Augustine while on a bike trip with friends and I remember liking him immediately. I remember your wedding, a first for me, and the two of you honoring me at the reception by having everyone sing me happy birthday. I also remember...
