Richard was a joy to talk with. He was very comical. I looked forward to seeing him in the morning. He was a wonderful friend and resident. Miss you, Buddy

I will miss my father so much. He endured so much pain in his life so one thing that makes this easier is knowing that he is no longer suffering on a daily basis. He went to the brink so many times that I believed this time would be the same. He was so tough that I told my kids that he would be OK because he was Superman but his heart finally gave out. Towards the end of his life he was living in a nursing home and he was very happy there. He made so many friends and touched so many people. They adored him. He was always good for a laugh. Intentional or not. Most of the time not. Dad was a right fighter. If he told you something and you tried to show him proof otherwise, wherever you got your info was "wrong". I'm going to miss him so much. I love you Dad.
