THELMA & Your family, I am very sorry to hear of the passing of RICHARD. I would like to say he was a true friend from way back in early 50s as he took me & a few more to the stock car races in Buffalo #48 many times & that is where i got the bug. We i worked on many construction jobs. Yes he was also a true sportsman & would go out of his way to help or teach the right way to do things in life. GOD BLESS & REST IN PEACE MY FRIEND.
