Dear Richard, even though so much time has passed. There are days when you run through my thoughts. You made happy memories for me. Things I will cherish for whatever time I have left on this earth. We will dance together again in front of heavens gates. I miss you my dear freind.

My prayers go out to your family. I pray for peace. So sad to hear. I worked with Richard back in 1983. We worked together at National Semiconductor. Even back then he was a very sweet caring human being. He will be missed and thought of fondly. Ill always think of you when I hear, " when doves cry." And your silly dance moves.
