Richard and I were childhood friends. We attended Lincoln Elem School and played together with all the kids in the neighborhood. I remember Richard always picking me up, twirling me and calling me "toots". I always told him, don't ever do that again....but, he did. I have sweet memories of my childhood because of him that i will never forget and always treasure.
My thoughts and prayers are with his family. May the Good Lord comfort you and keep you well.
