Lost for words. He was such a great guy. He always checked on me when I moved to Deerfield Road a few years ago.

Richard’s birthday was April 28th. We shared the same birthday and use to tell on each other during Sunday school… because they’d sing happy birthday to us… he’d pinch me if I told on him first. He was a good friend and he’ll be missed! Condolences to his family!!

I’m sorry to hear of Richard passing. He’s always been a friend to me. We had great times at Windsor Forest , he stayed in touch through facebook. Also he would come by and purchase a steak from me! Rip buddy!
