As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends. I´ve got the up most respect for this shipmate! I´m a Navy Veteran also and I feel a bond with Richard, you have to be Navy to understand where I´m coming from! Richard is a true Navy Hero, it saddens me that he is gone. I would have truly loved to have known this gentleman. I would have loved to hear some of his sea faring stores! I´m sure he would have enjoyed hearing some of mine has well! I´m sure his granddaughter has videotapes of him! It would be great to see some! I´m gonna close but not before I pass on to Richard one thing!
Shipmate, I hope you have Fair Winds and Following Sea´s, so long and fair well Navy!
