I knew Richard from WARM and the Rec Center. He was always a joy to talk to with subjects ranging from weight loss to projects at WARM. Richard was one of those individuals that you could honestly say that you wish you were more like him. In addition, if anyone ever said anything derogatory about him (and they never did) you knew that that person was someone to avoid. You just loved to be around him. He had a great dry wit and he will be sorely missed. He was truly "one of the good guys."

Richard was a warm and generous human being, and his love of family shone through every time we volunteered together at WARM. He touched others with his caring and sense of humor. Our WARM family reaches out to the McPeak family in this time of sadness and shock at the too-soon departure of a wonderful human being. My sincerest condolences. He will truly be missed.
