What a guy! Besides being a great and supportive brother-in-law, you influenced lives. As a bat boy, I witnessed you hitting one out of the park as catcher for our home town team out of high school. As a scout leader, you found ways to "persuade" those who did not obey all twelve scout laws. You stood behind our wonderful sister during her 15 year battle with cancer. You continued on, raising your daughter and stepchildren and new children in a second marriage. You told lots of stories, and created lots of them also. God Reward You Richard!
