I am sorry to learn of Richard's passing on from his earthly life.
I worked with Richard each year at the fair and he was such a joy to visit with and he always made everyone smile. His positive attitude was contagious. I am praying for your family to find peace in knowing that he is now rejoicing with our Lord and savior in heaven.
