All though I haven't seen Richard in years, he has always held a special place in my heart. He loved my dad, and my husband Greg. Everytime Greg and Richard saw each other they would move their hand along the side of their heads and say "smooooth". Richard had a stubbornness that was equal to his big heart. Rest Easy my friend my friend. I'm sure Mommy, dad, and Uncle Jimmy are smiling.
