I am truly sorry to hear of the loss of Richard. Richard was a neighbor of my Grandmother and Grandfather (Roxie & Archie Fentress) on Virginia Ave. in South Norfolk (Chesapeake), so he grew up with my Dad (Elbert Fentress) and my Uncles Clyde, Jack & Ray Fentress. I was a little kid and Richard was a "cool" adult. I have fond memories of Richard, his '57 Ford convertible and his fast Century boat. He pulled me on water skis in the Elizabeth River. In my early adulthood I remember seeing Richard with his leather Harley-Davidson visor/cap. Even as a bit older adult he was still a "cool" guy. All of my memories of Richard Gladstone are good and positive memories. My thoughts and prayers go out to his Family and friends that are left behind.
