Dear Brenda and family, As I’ve learned of the passing of my dear friend and cousin I’m broken hearted. I think of the good times and memories we share together with a smile on my faces and as I’m remembering the summers we spent together at our Aunt Christola’s and she had us scraping chicken poo off of the chicken coop to fertilize her garden. Us city boys wasn’t used to that! I’m sure that he is sitting around with his Mom and Dad....his sister...his Aunts and Grandmother and cousins....rejoicing. Your in my heart Richard and I will see you again. Love you always....your cousin Larry
