I am really gonna miss Richard! He has came to my store for many yrs. He would come in and always put a smile on my face. We would laugh and talk for hrs if we could. He was a huge blessing in my life. When I heard the horrible news I wanted to cry cause he was like a grandpa to me. We had a special connection. I will always think about him and his family!! Love you and really gonna miss our talks
