I always enjoyed my friendship with Richard. I saw him at many events throught the years in Waco and other cities at Baylor events. Richard always had a smile on his face and was fun to be with. I will cherish my memories of time spent with Richard. His life and relationships were a wonderful witness for his Lord and master, Jesus Christ.
