My father was the best father I could have had and I am going to miss him dearly. He was always home when we needed him, and he always took care of his family.
He always, always, had a sense of humor. He loved his work, and particularly loved chatting and kidding with his colleagues.
He often commented about how grateful he was to have such wonderful long time neighbors, which were also his friends.
Dad had the biggest heart with a huge soft spot for animals. He cared for a number of stray animals from the streets and junkyards of DC and gave many a loving home with him.
But the most important thing in Dad’s life was his family. He would have made any sacrifice for his wife or family, without thinking of himself. He was a doting husband, father and grandfather. He loved going out at Christmas and buying his girls too many presents each year.
Everyone who knew him, knew how much he loved his granddaughters. He took immense pleasure from spending time with me, his daughter, and later my children. Any other obligation took 2nd place to his family.
He was the most successful man we knew because he was a man who lived his life with no regrets. He would often say that although he may have made mistakes in his life, he would not change a single detail because it might mean that he wouldn’t have met his wife, had his daughter, and his grandchildren.
There are so many things you could say about Richard, but he was the kindest, most generous, and gentlest man I know. I am proud to have been his daughter.

Richard:
I had only been acquainted with you for over 1 year since I came to work at the cab company from the insurance company. Still, you were a great influence and a tremendous help and support to me here at the company. I feel your void. I greatly will miss you. Goodbye, and begin your overdue rest in peace.
