A tremendous guy. Went through a lot on his life and was able to pray for lots of people and saved many prisoners in the jails. Has a great turnaround in his life. Was a second cousin of mine , ate many lunches with him, and
Made me realize that we all have our own mission to accomplish. God bless Richard .

Joey, Thank you for taking care of your dad. He loved you and Anthony very much. He is in Heaven now running, jumping, and dancing down the streets of gold playing his little guitar. I have saved a recent phone call from him on my phone. He will always have a special place in my heart. Your cousin Ronnie and Linda Maynes now living in Chula Vista, CA.
