I had lost contact with Richard since 1972 when we hiked part of the Appalachian Trail in Maine. I grew up with Richard from Myers Jr. High to Savannah High and a few years after college. He was always my friend. We were part of a group that stayed friends through High School. Richard was a true character and enjoyed life to the max. He was always fun to be with and was driven at any endeavor he took on. My sympathies to Jimmy, Ursula, and Frank and all his friends.

Dear Jim:
We were so very sorry to hear of Richard's passing. We always enjoyed seeing you two, especially during the holidays and on our trips to Savannah as well. Richard was always nice to all of us and a good partner and friend to you.
I'm sorry that Becky and I were not able to stay for the memorial service. I am glad, however, that we got to spend a little bit of time with you. Hope to see you again soon.
Love,
Fran and Family
