Richard was such a good man and you were all so blessed to have him for forty years! I remember that the whole family and friends would all meet at your home since shortly after you met! And boy that huge yard would really hold a lot of people! I remember having many good times over there! And Richard gave me some great advice at times, especially many years after my divorce!! Mainly because he was really trying to help me! And I will always appreciate that!
Thank you Richard for quietly looking out for all of us! And loving us with all our faults! Nancy, I am so happy you had such a great man that helped you, your family & everyone else! Richard will be so missed!! Praying for the healing of everyone! We will see you in heaven Richard!

Richard you will be missed and you are so loved. You have supported me through all my trials. I am so happy that Nancy met such a wonderful, supportive man. You are indeed also a wonderful father.
So quiet but, when you spoke we all knew to listen.

You will be missed but, never forgotten.
