Dear Sharon, Wayne & family, I was shocked to learn of Rich's death last night and recalled all of the great times we had together for so many years and laughed to myself and shed a few tears. Rich was my first friend when we moved to Lafayette from the farm at age 6 (1942) just two doors away on 27th St. We became life long friends and lost track after years away from Laf. I could write a book and if Rich was here today we sure would have a lot of laughs talking about some of our activities and fun along the way. Rich was the kind of person who did the right things and avoided what was wrong, a man of very high integrity and a genius on top of that. I will close by repeating Rich's words to me when his Father died....He is in a better place now! Good-by Rich, your in a better place now. Your old friend, John Robison 3-27-15

Aunt Sharon and family,
Remembering with a smile all the family gatherings on your porch, in the pool and at the grandparents. I hope you all find comfort in the happy memories and knowing that he is at peace. Wish we could attend.
Love and prayers,
Laurie (Niece)
