For Mr. and Mrs. Hill,
I hope everything is well with all of you. Richard is still in my thoughts everyday of every hour. With every picture I see or every song I hear, reminds me of how special he is and how I will cherish every minute of his beautiful soul. I'll miss those phone calls when he'd call me on the road or advice he'd give me about my relationships. I'll miss him always and I will always love him for being a wonderful friend.

I can't believe I am just finding out. I am so happy I got to see you in July, at the Ale House, while I was home visiting. You were a wonderful man, filled with love, giving it so willingly to others. I am in complete shock. I am so happy for you that you had the girl of your dreams by your side in your time of passing, I just wish you had more days of happiness with her. You will one day. I miss you and love you. We will never forget you "Big Red".

Dear Frank, Frances and Family,
I was startled to here of Richards passing. But we all share with you the memories and great times had with him.
As you know, we watched him grow up in his attendance with you at the Mandarin Shrine Club. From a boy to a handsome young man.
God works in mysterious ways and some times we question, why this? I want to believe that Richards death can be a learning experience for us all. You never know when this could befall any of us. Therefore, remember those around you with love and understanding and live every day as though it may be your last. God is supreme and loves you and me.
Our love for you abounds in the friendship and brotherly love we have shared these many years. You know you only have to ask, we'll be there.
May God comfort you and give you peace, now and forever more.
Billy and Hazel

I am truely sorry for the Hill Family for there loss but i know that we will meet again. **Red buddy, you WILL be missed**

Dear Frank and Frances Hill I'm so sorry for the loss of Richard. I miss him so much. I'm hoping now that I've got the chance to meet the two people who meant so much to Richard, we'll be able to keep in touch. I had every intention on saying goodbye to Richard when we all attended his wake. I've come to the conclusion that I don't have to say goodbye because I know that one day we'll all see each other again and Richard will be there with his arms open wide letting us into his world of heaven. I'm so glad I got to meet the two of you and I'm really glad I got to have Richard's friendship. He'll never be forgotten by his family and friends. He's always hold a special place in my heart and I hope the two of you are doing ok. I know what you're going through. I lost my mom to brain cancer in 2001 and I'm glad I got to share that with Rich. If you ever want to tak you can reach me at [email protected] or you can call me at 904-278-5512, just ask for Michele. I'm sorry again for your loss and just know that he'll be waiting for us at the pearly gates of heaven welcoming us in with that big smile of his. Who knows, maybe he's up there lighting off those fireworks and riding his bike into the clouds? Thank you so much for allowing me to see him again. I'll miss him so much. I love you Richard and you'll be missed so very much.

Dear Frank and Frances,
I am the lady who's husband was involved in the truck wreck and we
were together a lot at Shands, praying for one another. I have
continued to pray for Richard every
day and was so saddened to read yesterday's paper. I now will pray
for God's grace for you all and Stacy in your loss. I have thought
about you many times...
My Jim was taken to Orange Park Med. on Thanksgiving Day with pneumonia and staff (1 day after leaving Shands) and has been in CCU
since. He is going to regular room
today and he is getting better.
I will keep you in my prayers...
Fondly,
Kay

Frances (and family): Having only met Richard a few times in person I feel like I knew him so well just from the way you would talk about him. Our close knit group he was a "Son" to all of us. I can not imagine what you must be going through. PLEASE let me know if there is anything that I can do for you. May God give you strength and peace during this difficult time.
In Christ, Erin

I am so sorry for your loss. I went to high school with Richard. He was a funny guy, always making jokes and making us laugh. He will be missed greatly. My deepest sympathy goes out to you.
