Richard was such a kind heart. Helping Brian and I on the farm. He showed me so many trails to ride my horse, right off the farm. He was always there if you needed help with anything, anywhere, and anytime. His sense of humor was spot on. My best memories involved the saying, "Dont be a Richard!!" (It almost made it on a tee-shirt) and the commotion after he lent a pair of sweatpants to Judy. He had a whole 'family' of friends here in the mountains. We all miss him already.

Richard was a staple up the mountains and will deeply be missed! I will miss his many stories, the knowledge he shared and the hugs he gave! RIP, my buddy!
