Rick, Tina, and Dean,

My attempt to contact each of you to express my condolences is long over do but know that my thoughts and prayers have always been with you. I just didn't know what to say. I love you guys! I have missed you all of my life... since that summer way back when we were just kids. Now those were some happy times.

I miss the positive and inspirational talks with my Uncle. I looked forward to meeting up with Uncle Richard whenever he was in Pittsburgh, or occasionally catching up over the phone. His attitude and the lessons that I learned from him help to make life’s hardships more bearable...as I sit by my Father’s side and draw strength from God and from those that have gone before us.

I wish you all peace, love, forgiveness, and good health - your cousin.

Willie, my deepest sympathy for your loss. In the five years I knew Richard, he touched my life like no other. Although he will be missed dearly, I am greatful that I had the opportunity to know him. He truly was the "Salt of The Earth".
