In Your Memory
Nov 28, 1945-July 30, 2012
Jesus, My Comfort
My Salvation
Jesus died for me, so I may live
Blind faith, I said, all I could give
In prayer to Him; a tear in my eye.
So hard to let go & say goodbye.
Now in your memory I will dwell
In the hearts of many, I knew well.
‘Til Jesus comes; resting peacefully
In a special place He made for me.
My spirit lives in love
Our greatest bond
So truly, I am with you,
I'm not really gone.
~Nancy M Ammons

My brother was a man for all seasons and lived for noble reasons. As he enters the gates of Rock N Roll heaven, it is with the full knowledge that he was truly loved by his family and friends.
Throughout my life, my brother was always there for me. No younger brother could ask for a more talented, funny and caring brother than my brother Richie.
I will miss him beyond human comprehension.
