I enjoyed practicing martial arts with Richard even when we both discipline and practiced different styles. We exchange blows and kicks to each other but at the end of the day we were always friends. We respected each other and valued our friendship. I am sorry, I missed being there with you and your family.

The first time, I met Richard back in 1991 Jeffersonville High School ROTC Airforce class. I remembered, Richard as a happy and outspoken individual always a joy to have as a friend. He was a great friend to be around and always happy and outgoing person.
