Let me first say that I send my sympathies & prayers to Richards many family members. As soon as I read this I was taken aback since it drew to my memories of the "Homecoming Festivities" that Richard & I attended together. He was an all around awesome person who back when I knew him offered his assistance to all & never took anyone or anything for granted. I am shocked & saddened at his untimely passing. God be with you all & may he comfort you in this time of need. Sincerely - Roberta L. Johnson-Johnson
