Richard,
Fondest memories of you! Growing up together in Scottsdale. My dear friend from grade school into High School. We did everything together. I can still see you and your brothers Steve and Terry and Your sister Marsha and Your mother and dad, and slugger! So many memories! Then the challenging days ahead into adulthood. Years of separation, and then the renewal of our friendship! And finding out about your faith in Jesus and your wonderful family! And then realizing the challenges you faced in the final years of your life. But now, all tears are wiped away! And soon Jesus will return to this earth as HE promised, and Ill see you again! and we will laugh againtogetheruntil then, rest in His peaceand may God be with your family as they follow Him. Your adopted brother,
Bobby
