Rich and I were like twins, one year and two days apart in age. While growing up, we were very close, like a team. When we grew up, I always knew that I can turn to him for love, support and advise. He would always be there for me and my kids. Richard was a man of true honor, dignity and courage. He was always honest, trustworthy and a hard working individual. He was well liked by his co-workers and we were proud of all his achievements at NNSY. My brother had a kind heart and took pleasure in helping his parents, children and animals. He was also very intelligent and almost knew the answer to any question, and if he didn't, he would find out the answer. He guided and informed his family and friends in many aspects of life with his knowledge. Rich will be truly missed by all who knew him. Richard will always have a special place in my heart. Thanks for the good times and may God bless you always
