My father was a wonderful, loving man. He had a great sense of humor and a great laugh. He had that special twinkle in his eye too when he was up to something--telling a joke or something fun. I'll miss him terribly.

Billie, my deepest sympathy on your loss. It seems like yesterday that Richard played for my wedding, yet it was 41 years ago. Even though Richard was my third-cousin, I always felt close to him and to you. Richard was a great guy. Again, to you and your family, I wish peace in the days ahead.
