So sorry to hear about Richards death, we were friends from Church and school. He did enjoy music and singing, which he did at Lindbergh and St. John's choir.

I know Richard from his green house. I bought all my plants from him. He was so friendly and kind.

Treasure is a perfect word that comes to mind describing Richard. He has been a dear friend for many years. He is now experiencing what we all hope and live our lives as examples for - eternity with Jesus!

Such sad news. I have not seen Richard for years but had worked at the Geitz Nursery seasonally for a couple years. I enjoyed working with Richard & his Dad. Such hard workers and so friendly.
Condolences to his family. Richard always got a spark in his eye speaking of his kids.
