We know that Richard is in a much better place and like someone else said is singing with the angels. Wish we could have been there to celebrate the life of a very dear cousin. He is alive in the hearts and lives of each of us because Richard touched so many.

All the family times, trips to the ocean, fun days at Disneyland and vacations to Nebraska wouldn't have been half as fun without our cousin Richard. He is truly missed.

What do the following have in common: Disco dancing, the Hollywood Bowl, giggling, singing, church and running a marathon? You should have guessed Richard. He was a multifaceted man with many talents. He will leave a hole in our lives. May you remember him with fondness while the pain of his passing isn't.
