In the earlier years, Rich would compete with me. As time went on, I found myself the student in many things. Your niece, Shawn, and I miss you dearly and pray for your peace.

I will miss playing Monopoly with my brother. Every trip to High Spgs, he had the game set up and waiting! He is probably playing with the angels, now. Christy and I miss you very much!

I will never forget my friend Richard. I even remember the first day we met, In the library, at MCHS. You were making jokes and cracking me up. It was at that moment that you made an impression on me that I will never forget. We became best friends soon after, and although I have not seen you in 24 years I will never forget. God bless! I am deeply saddened and my heart goes out to the McClean family.
