I am sorry to have missed the service.... and be so belated with my condolences, but I only recently heard of Richard's passing from a neighbor.
I live in his neighborhood and also have fond memories of his zest for life, yet his gentlemanly, focused style and fun deals on "stuff."
My sympathies to his family; I wish I could have gotten to know you.
Godspeed, Richard.

My deepest sympathies on the passing of Richard. I met Richard through an ad I posted in Craig's List for a place to store my camper. He was so nice! He did so much for me, taking my camper in to "his guy" and getting it looked at, new battery, and stuff. He went above and beyond for me, as we only saw each other when I would drop off my camper to his garage and pick it up. We would continue to keep in touch through emails and texts. My most recent phone call to Richard, I was teasing him about the pretty nurses he had staying with him. I am so sorry to have missed his service. I just now heard of his passing.
My camper is being stored at the garage now, please contact me.
