Mary and family,
I was saddened to learn of Richard's death, we were on our unions Executive Committee together, back in the late 1960s, he was n honest man and always fair. I was convinced he could fix anything but a broken heart. I will remember him and the Mumper family in my prayers at this difficult time.

Dear Mary, and family,
I am deeply saddened to learn of the death of Richard, although I worked at the Globe, we served together on the Executive Committee of our local. He was always an honest and straight-forward person, I recall seeing him at a college in Boca, a few years ago, as we watched a softball game and rekindled fond memories. I was convinced he could fix anything but a broken heart, he was a gifted man in many ways. I will keep him and the Mumper family in my prayers at this difficult time.
