Richard's personality was as unique as his sense of style, one-of-a-kind, and adored by all. Richard loved to love all, his love and laughter will echo in the hearts of those who knew him, his spirt will continue to inspire us all, Richard’s life was a testament of the beauty of kindness, the strength of family, and the joy of living each day to the fullest.
