The second Christmas without you is even harder, but I will go on.
I love you always.
Your "Protagonist "
August 8, 2024
You were one of only two people who could get me from, "mellow to explosion " , in two seconds flat. Just a look or a tone, but then I probably did the same. I will still miss you, your, sage advice, your dependable help, and especially your unorthodox "quizzes ". I still expect to hear you say " gotcha, boy you should see your face ". You were my best friend, and most honored nemesis. You helped me through so many tough, and rough times, and lead us through the trials of growing up. Thank you. You more than made up for all the aggravation you gave me. I miss you ,and hope to meet with you again. God Bless.

Sharon, thinking of you, Justin and Richard today. Your family lived the motto: make our world a better place. You all did so much for so many. Fondly, Cathey Withrow

I knew Richard through Michael, and did a Tee Pee talent having a ball fooling around backstage with them, and seeing them both make a career of it.

I was the band director at Bullard high in the early 90´s . Richard was a great friend and colleague. He was an expert at all there was to know in our theatre. He made me laugh and was a good friend.

Sharon, It was quite a shock to see Richard's obituary in the Bee. You have endured so much loss, my heart goes out to you and your loved ones. Richard was a mix of brilliance and kindness that made him a sheer delight to work with. It has been so many years since we worked on OM together. But thinking about him and all the two of you did together for OM & Boy Scouts and anyone or anything that was needed in our community has to make the loss even more difficult for everyone. With deepest sympathy, Cathey Withrow

Uncle Richard, you will be missed by your beautiful and wonderful wife. Your amazing and right now lost brother and sister. But your nieces are going to miss your amazing laugh, the funny faces you make at your family when your debating movies, theater, where you lived, the different jobs you had growing up and all the amazing get togethers. But I am also going to miss the requests for brownies, pie and homemade cheesecake with real whipped cream. I will also miss playing Cards Against Humanity with you and the family. You were an amazing husband, father, brother, co-worker, teacher and uncle. I will miss you enormously, but know you and Justin a have reunited and are up to shenanigans.
