I am going to miss Richard. Forty year friend and co-worker at Reynolds. Working together, solving important and complex problems. Rich was able to draw from his many interests and experience, using this talent to solve those work related issues. Sometimes brute force and choreographed movement were used, other times thought and collaboration. Rich was a very good at remembering all the small details, keeping the job moving along to completion.
Outside work, I went with Rich, learned and enjoyed being along. His many interests and activities, we both enjoying those experiences.
Your friend, Roy
