Sharon and Dennis, I wish that there was a way to take away the pain that you and the rest of Richards family feel. You've lost more than a son, a part of you has been taken and you have been left with a void in your heart. I am so sorry. I will pray for all of you.
My thoughts and prayers are with Sheila, Leah, and Christina ( KeKe) to my family, from early camping days all over the country. Will miss the great times and Rich saying" ON THE ROAD AGAIN" as we started out. RIP MY FRIEND, until I see ya again.............MJ and Rita Picha Family
