His big smile and laugh

Uncle Richard, It´s been a year and I still don´t have the words to express how much this world misses you. Your contagious smile and open arms always made everyone feel welcome and included. I will always remember you for your kindness and your enthusiasm for life. You had the special ability to connect with people. You always listened whole heartedly and held space for everyone you encountered. Thank you for being such a Great Uncle to all of us. You are so loved and missed and you will never be forgotten.

Capturing moments - my uncle Richard loved taking pictures and catching the perfect shot of someone laughing or playing. I will hold onto those pictures forever.

My soulmate, a diplomat who saved my sanity and life so many times, part of a trio called by my mother "JIM-RICHARD-JOE", undisputed leader of her and my father's kids, us seven siblings, closest friend of in-laws and out-laws, parent and father and uncle to all generations, including all dogs.
Really miss you bro, forever,
Jim

Love and miss this brother so much
