Richard was a big part of our life during the "softball" years. He had a zest for life that most people will never realize and that showed when he was working with the girls softball team. He brought out the best and taught them that they could compete and they could succeeed. After softball, the bond was always there and just two weeks ago we had a long conversation as we met in the aisles of the store. He NEVER forgot to ask about everyone of our family members and catch up on news. He will always be remembered as a part of our family and the good times we all had together. We are so very sorry that he has left us but he no doubt will be bringing smiles, chuckles, and "instructions" to those on the other side.
