Pat, we are so sorry. Just heard about Richard's passing. He was so kind and caring whenever we encountered him at antique shows. We are just so sad. We are praying for you and your family. We will also have a mass said at Our Lady of the Lake in Green Lake, WI. for his soul.

Richard was one of the sweetest and kindest men I ever encountered. My heart is so grieved for Pat and the rest of his family. I've loved you all so much through the years... and that will never end. May God comfort all of you.
Love and blessings,

My deepest sympathies to Pat, Chris, Kelly and all of Richard's wonderful family. I always loved talking to him about his chickens and flowers and touring his garden to help identify his plants and how to care for them. I will miss him but cherish the memories.
