Richard was one of my best friends during high school days at Carl Hayden. I last saw him about 25 years ago; he was just as big and loveable.

Richard was a friend during our days at Carl Hayden.
I am sorry to see his life end so soon, but I am sure the life he had was rich with family and friends. He was a big teddy bear, always had a smile on his face. My sincerest condolences to his family. God bless.
