My condolences Im Sorry to hear I use to live with Rich And lost contact with him when i moved back to Albuquerque. You had a great son and a really good friend to have.

Dick-So sorry to hear of your incredibly sad loss. I know how Richard filled your heart. I am praying for comfort for you and your family. Cindy (Miss Chapman) Morris

Your son was one of a kind and is deeply missed by many...including myself. We were friends for about 3 yrs exchanging emails that could have been novels. His wit was uncommonly sharp, his intelligence something I admired and respected, and the depth of his compassion something rarely encountered these days. He was a light in the dark...the big brother I never had...and his absence is keenly felt by all the lives he touched. You can be proud for raising such an amazing soul. God bless.

My sincere condolences to Dick and Leslie! I will be out of town for the memorial but would sure have liked to see you both. I am so sorry for your loss.

My condolences go out to Leslie and Dick. When you two took my two boys and I to the circus a few years back for Leslie's birthday we had so much fun, it was truly one of my fondest memories. And over the last 20 plus years Rich has been there for me like no one I've ever known. He made my son Brian a Yugioh card out of card stock that was a pic of my son. So Brian had his own Yugioh depicting him and his hit points. And then Rich built him a Redline BMX bicycle for his birthday. Friends come...

I met rich about 17 years ago, has always been a positive person, and a very loyal friend. When life was giving me hard times , he always would know how to guide a person through it. I'm so devastated he's not with us physically. But rich is a friend that leaves great memories in a person's life that will forever hold closeness, n we will see each other again one day. My love and condolences go out to his family n friends in mourn.,
