To my sister, Paula and daughters Christel, Carina, Cassie and Catherine; I'm so very sorry for your loss. I have many fond memories of Richard, starting in Spain and he would drive the Pacer forward, looking in his rear-view mirror! He was funny, kind, hard working and I know he loved his family. I have memories from your wedding, Paula (when Richard had hair!). I will miss him. Love and prayers to you all.

Broken Chain
We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone; for part of us went with you the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide, and though we cannot see you, you are always by our side. Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same, but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again. - Ron Tranmer
