Mrs. Schelker -- Richard's family and mine were next-door neighbors on Brand Avenue from the spring of 1956 until Mrs. Schelker moved away. My Dad died in 1994 and that was the last time I saw Richard, who was very kind at the time. He liked my Dad very much and was very sad to see him go. I am so sorry for your loss and you and Richard are in my prayers. All the best -- Michael Horenkamp, Lexington KY

I played baseball with Rich in the 1950's. We were on the Tucker Tire little league team. We went to different schools so we were only baseball team friends.
I'm sorry for your loss and my thoughts are with his family.

To have had a brother is to have experienced a very special gift, take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you
