We've been friends since the shipyard days many years ago and getting off the bus at Woods X Roads where we both lived. Richard was always busy building his house or working on their beautiful place, on his tractor, greenhouse and garden. He would help you out if he could and was always a friend. May God Bless You and Yours, Bill

I have so many fond memories of Richard his dad and brothers from our hunt camp in the Blue Ridge mountains. He was a great outdoorsman and loved walking the ridges. Truly, he never met a stranger and was always eager to talk about his love for his family.
