We offer our deepest condolences for your loss Patty. We'll always cherish our interactions with Richard in our memories. Richard was a heck of a guy when it came to purity of heart, selfless way of helping others and of course great personal charm. For us he was a great father figure, who we'll miss greatly and deeply. May he rest in peace.

Dick and Patty were wonderful neighbors for over 50 years. I miss the neighborhood Christmas parties we had every year.
