Richard, if you are reading this ...know that no matter how much time passes.... you will always be my friend. Though life and death.... Always. I miss all the fun times we had together. You will never be forgotten.

So grateful Legacy provides a way to help me remember Richard and others. In life and death I will always remember Richard as a smart, funny and caring individual whom I am proud to call my friend.

Hello everyone just a quick note to say I often remember growing up with Rich and telling others of the many

will always be remembered by the family and I will continue to share our wonderful stories....

Today, I will remember the Richard from my youth. In particular, I remember his eyes, his smile, his laugh, his energy, his kindness, his keen mind, his sincerity and of course, his mischievousness nature. Richard was always fun to be around and added great texture to those around him. My continued thoughts and prayers go out to his wife and family on the loss of their husband and brother Richard, a truly special person.

Dear Paula, Gary and Kathy,
Please, please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss. As I write this I sit stunned by this news.
Paula, please forgive me if the following strikes you as kind of long-winded as we've never met but Gary and Kathy can tell you I spent many days, months, and years in your husband Richards company. Richard, Gary, Robby, Jamie, Kenny & Paul.we were a kind of band of brothers.
As I remember it, Richards's father Vern, was partners (for a time) with my...

Love Kris and James
