Wed July 24 Richard earned his wings after fighting a long battle. We are all saddened by this loss and miss him tremendously. We know Richard had a positive impact on many peoples lives and always brightened their days with his huge heart and quick humor. Unfortunately when family began planning a funeral service to honor this memory, it was found that his life insurance has lapsed leaving no money to do so. We want to be able to give Richard a proper send off, but these things are expensive. At this time, we are asking for donations from friends and family to help offset this cost for a funeral . We thank anyone in advance for their support.
