The loss of Mr. Guzior hurts my heart and is a loss, not only to the Guzior family but to all of us in the Richards family. With his contributions in forming our company and all of his work within the industry and the community he will never be forgotten. May you all find strength and comfort in the love and support of all of us around you. I will miss him. Renee and I are praying for the Guzior family.

Dear Christine and Family,
Words cannot express the sadness we are feeling over the loss of your loved one. Richard was a such wonderful and kind man. It was always a pleasure to see him at weekly morning mass and adoration. Truly a man of great spirituality. Richard will surely be missed, but know we will be remembering Richard and all of you at daily mass. Our prayers, love, and thoughts are with you Christine.
