Richard was a man with an inexhaustible amount of gentle kindness. So many little acts that he did for me that meant so much will be what I remember the most. The many times he would walk Sam when I was at the house so I could sleep an extra hour. The way he always made sure there was coffee made because he knew how much I enjoyed it. And Italy, Thank you Richard for all your kindness in Italy. I will be forever grateful that I was able to spend that special time with you and Maryann and Kathy and the kids. And the pink house in Seaside. What fun. Do they have mixed nuts in heaven? There are so many happy memories, too many to list but not too many to remember. Thank you for that. The world has lost one of the great ones. But heaven will be a better place because you're there. Rest now my friend. You will be missed.
