We ask family and friends to wear their best boots, in honor of Richard who was long known for his positive outlook on life, sense of humor and love for boots.
No farewell words were spoken, no time to say goodbye, you were gone before we knew it, and only God knows why. May you find comfort in the hands of angels and healing in the hands of the Lord.
