It has been way too long since I have seen you. Last time was when we were teenagers I think. I did not even know how long you served in the Marines and how many honors you received. I am truly honored and proud to be your cousin. Thank you for your service. Semper Fi. God Bless you and God Bless your family. You have touched so many people and so many will miss you.

So very sorry for your lost. Richard and I met in 1979 while I was in the Navy,he was in charge of the 500 division of the Aircraft Intermediate Maintenance Division. In December 1982 "Gunny" knew I was about to leave the Navy and gave me a call to interview for a job with Louisiana Air National Guard 159th Maintenance Squadron. I owe my success to Richard,if not for him thinking of me, I don't know where my career path would have been. "Gunnuy" you will me missed and my family is for ever greatful for your friendship. Always "Ronbo"

I worked with Mr. Firming in the Military for a short time in 1985. He was always telling me stories of his past Military experiences. He was well liked in our Unit and would lend a helping hand at a moments notice. Praying for his Family and Friends.
