Linda and I want to express our heartfelt sympathy to you and your family in your loss of Richard. He was such a wonderful gentleman and always had the desire to do the right thing for others.

His impact was definitely significant. I will always treasure my personal and professional relationship with Richard. Please know that our prayers are with you and the family. Do take care and God bless!
