Peggy, just today heard of Richard's passing. Mark found out at the Lovington gun show. We had no idea you were in Lubbock. We are in total shock and saddened at Richard's passing. We would have been at his service and we would have been in contact with you. Love you a lot and will always remember our good times with Richard and you. Mark & Pam Hulse
