I just learned of Richard (and Skip's) passing. I'm heartbroken for the family and loved ones. I know the pain of loss as it's only been a year since I lost my sister, but I still can't imagine.. Richard did love life and I always enjoyed seeing him. His light shined so brightly. Thanks be to God we don't grieve as the world grieves. We will see them again!!! Praying for you all.

My beautiful brother, it seems like this can´t be real, but it is. My heart is heavy with grief. Although we don´t grieve as the world grieves, we grieve with hope, it still hurts like hell. I miss you. I want to hear your laugh again. Thank you for leading me to the Lord so many years ago. Richard the mighty. Richard the warrior. Richard the loved.
