Dearest Uncle Richard, another year has come and gone. I still miss you in so many ways. I've never met anyone like you and I'm certain I never will. Some of my best memories since Sean and I got married include you. I miss you Uncle Richard. Love, Evelyn

Uncle Richard, today I was on mom's patio where you sat drinking a beer wearing a U.S. Coast Guard hat. That was a great barbecue! We miss you!

Uncle Richard, we miss you. Our nightly ritual before dinner was for Sean to call you first. He misses those calls. And so do I..I'm so happy we were able to spend the time we spent together. When you came to the house and stayed for 4 days we enjoyed you so much. Your personality was one in a million. Your love for us we knew by that twinkle in your eyes. Sean and I looked forward to sharing time with you and you will be sadly missed. We love you Uncle Richard. We are comforted knowing that you with Mom and Dad. And your mom and dad. And most of all all of your brothers. You honored them in this life by the love you shared with thier children. Your nephews and nieces. Sean and I will be putting your Easter Lillie's on the family place of rest every Easter. And we will visit you. Just wanted to say we love you and forever you are in our hearts. Be in peace Uncle Richard. Ave Maria. She's a good mother. ❤
