My wife and I have lived next to Richard for the last 18 years. We have very fond memories of seeing him working in his garden and chatting about his flowers and plants. Countless times we talked about the Bay Area sport teams. He was especially interested in talking about the Warriors and 49ers. You could really see his passion rise to the surface when he talked about his martial arts experience. We really enjoyed his sense of humor and shared many laughs together.
We are so grateful that we got to know Richard, and we will miss him greatly.

Rich was part of our group that played cards at lunch. He had a very dry sense of humor that many never really got. We played for about 14 years. Very smart guy.
