Richard was every mother-in-laws dream. I never worried about my Daughter Becky because I knew Richard would always take care of any problem she had. They loved each other with a true heart. We will miss him every day for as long as we all live. He brought light to our family, and much fun , love and laughter. Rest Easy Richard. We will take care of your precious Becky until the two of you are together again.
