Our deepest sympathy to Richard’s family and friends in this time of sorrow; we feel your loss. “Shu” was a good man and we shared many fun times together. He gave Clarice pool lessons and laughed at Timothy’s bad jokes. We were fortunate to have him in our lives. May perpetual light shine upon him. Rest in peace our friend. We will miss you.
