Richard was always very friendly and would talk to everyone while out walking his dogs. As a neighbor, I will miss him. My condolences to the family.

I did not know Richard but I do know his family. I send my heartfelt sympathies to Sondra and daughters. It is heart wrenching to lose a family member as it is something unnatural. With Jehovahs promises in mind I will keep you in my prayers. Annie Evola
