So sorry to learn of the loss of Richard. I have worked with him part-time for the last few years. I really hate to hear about this. He loved showing off those adorable pictures of his new baby. He was so proud of her and his wife and loved you both so dearly. Prayers for all his family. May God lift you all up and hold you close through these difficult times.

There are no words that can say how sorry I am. It was such an honor to get to know and love him. I will not say good-bye but will say, save me a place in line terd. Darrell and Theresa thank you both for letting me be apart of you children's lives. Me and Richard had several private and heart felt talks. He loves his family so much. Richard will always have a special place in my heart so will you all.
