I worked with Richard for many years at the VA hospital. He was such a kind and special person. My fondest memory was when he found out that I loved Bichon dogs, and he gave me his dog named Wesley. Richard would "babysit" for Wesley when I went on vacation. I´ll always remember Richard. My sincerest condolences and prayers go out to his family and friends.
