What an awesome man. I met Mr.Richard over 30 years ago while working as a Maintenance Director at River Region Hospital. Mr. Richard always came to my office with the glow and positive nature that I dreamed of having. Always exiting with a chuckle. Sale or no sale. Although I never met his family I knew he had something special. My prayers go out to all of you. I was blessed to have met such a man.
