Richard was a kind loving father, son, brother, uncle who put family first. He was a curious person that questioned everything. Always trying to figure out how things worked and why (scientifically), watching documentaries and Sci Fi movies. Let's not forget he also enjoyed cartoons and was an artist, whether or not he liked to admit it, he drew very well. He had the ability to talk and tell jokes with any person he met. His favorite thing was family gatherings and him telling stories of his childhood. 

It was a sudden death that left us with a heartache that no one can heal, but the love he left behind is something that no one can take. We weep briefly for our loved one as he enters the kingdom of God, for he shall posses a joy and peace that is unattainable on God's earthly realm. Rather, rejoice in their everlasting and total happiness, for his eyes have seen God.
