To Joyce and family,
Regret to hear of your sudden loss Joyce. We have many fond memories of Richard being such
a great guy over the years. I stayed with his parents while attending Jr. High School and although I was older I remember him teasing me relentiously until I could escape to my room. He was a little bugger!
