I was so sad to hear of your passing today.Always caring and helpful with a big smile.Thank you for all the help you gave me through the years. You we're truly a unique and sweet neighbor that cannot be replaced.. We will miss you Richard, rest in peace.
You will live on in my heart. You are a good soul, now in heaven with God. I picture you entertaining the Angels and making them laugh, just as you did in life. You were a fierce protector and a friend for life. You were kind to everyone and always offered your help to those in need. You were so quirky, people just fell in love with you everywhere you went. A born entertainer. You lived a life worth living, my sweet friend. And you deserved a Hero's Salute for serving our county and helping to protect our Americans that fought by eachother's side, no matter the misguided politics. A sad time for everyone, but you fought for the right reasons. May God bless you in heaven. You are loved by many, with me included. Thank you for all that you shared with me, especially your mom and your daughter. You meant so much to so many, and I was one of them. Rest in peace.
My dear friend, I truly miss the get-togethers that we had along our journey of life. I promised you that I would get the guys together Hogan //flair, and we roasted you in Florida at Hogan‘s place. We played the tape of you and Hogan together fighting and also I told the story about the magician taking your underwear off you at a big party only to find out later that you were so upset .. We then find out that you had the same square Bob Square pants underwear that he had for his magic act. that could’ve only happened to you. I’m laughing now as did everybody at the party. Thank you for the memories, love you I’ll see you soon. One day.
