May 17, 2016 at 12:00 amI'm so sorry for your loss. Richard is a good man and good father. I remember he always had a good joke to tell. The stories he used to tell me made me laff and I'll never forget them or him. He will always be in my prayers.

May 17, 2016 at 12:00 amRG-Our Boss, our mentor and our friend! The tears have not stopped. We are heartbroken and can't believe the reality of your loss. We have learned so much from you about the law and about life! You were a brilliant attorney and businessman. You taught us about business professionalism, integrity, courtesy and kindness. You were a perfectionist who commanded high-quality work of yourself and office staff. We were always proud to be a part of your winning team. But not only were you our mentor, you were our friend and father figure-someone we would turn to for your words of wisdom and advice. We were together for over 30 years, and we were a family, as you always said. We shared so much together. And what a wonderful sense of humor you had! We have been reminiscing and will always remember all the laughs! Things will not be the same without you in our lives. You also taught us when writing to keep it short & concise and to get to your point right away- so, though not short, because I could go on & on about you, here is the point: We loved you and we will miss you! Thank you for everything. We feel blessed to have known you. See you again one day! Our love & prayers to Harriet, Karen, Lynn, Andrea, Denise and families. We are family and will be here for you always! Love Cindy, Terry & Barry
