Laughing

Richard was a true renaissance man. He was a carpenter, auto mechanic, police man, golfer, boater, fisherman, pilot, and more. He loved his family most of all. I chose a picture of him laughing because that is how we should all remember him--laughing at a joke at the dinner table, on the golf course, etc.
We will all miss him deeply.

One of Richard's favorite things to do, if not the favorite thing to do, was be with his family. He loved Thanksgiving, when all of us got together to tell stories, laugh, and eat. Remember that Richard will be there in the future on these special family days.

How could we forget that fateful Thanksgiving when Richard awoke to discover a "hooligan" sleeping in his golf cart room? What a sight to see. I remember Richard instantly grabbing a crowbar and brandishing it at the poor guy while he called the police. It was as if it Richard's police instinct switch was instantly flipped on. It certainly made for an unforgettable Thanksgiving!
