Richard was one of the kindest people I have ever know. He loved his kids so much. Anytime I would see him at the grocery store or gas station, he always talked about his kids and Miriam. He was such a kind hearted person and it was so good to see him so happy. He will be missed and I know he was loved by many. I will keep you all in my prayers. Heaven gained a good one.
We are very sorry for your loss. Richard was a good friend and co worker. He will be truly missed by all his customers and friends. We are praying for you all.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
Sending prayers to your beautiful children, your lovely new bride, and your entire family. My work “husband” and more importantly my FRIEND. He broke the mold when He built you. My heart is aching but I know you are at peace. Rest easy Richard.
Richard was a great guy and will be missed by many. Praying for his family. RIP my friend.
Dearest Susan,
