Gloria, Debbie and Dickie, I am truly sorry to hear of the sudden passing of Richard. He was truly a great man with a huge heart. I will already remember the fun times our family shared - especially the way he teased my mother! He would brighten up a room with his hearty laugh. He will be missed by all.
