Flo, I was so sorry to hear about Richard. The Epling family was a great mainstay when I grew up in Gallipolis. As you know, Richard and I graduated from G.A.H.S together. It was so great to see the two of you at some of our reunions, especially our 50th. I could always count on Richard for a great lawyer story! Please know that my thoughts are with you. Richard will be sorely missed. I treasure the memories.

I was fortunate to have known Richard. He was a man of many skills and great curiosity. The world is worse for his demise. Condolances to Flo , Renee and Fey.
