After many years of dedication and hard work, he has grown his Little Caesars Empire to seven stores. His family is committed too and will carry on with the legacy he was so passionate about. He lived life to the fullest. Richard had a great sense of humour and had a quick wit about him. Richard made a lot of friends through the years. Many were life longtime friends and some were like brothers (you know who you are). Besides his love for his work, he loved spending time with his family.

My first friendship encounter with Richard was actually through one of his golf balls, which always landed in the middle of the fairway. As I passed his ball, usually a Taylor Made I noticed some markings on it. Being curious I rolled it over to see the full markings and there it was, a smiley face. Upon asking him "why the smiley face?" Richard casually remarked, 'why not, life's too short to live otherwise.' That sums up my feelings and thoughts about my brother. He truly was a joyous man. Richard you will be sorely missed! :) - Posted by: Garry Peters (Friend) on: Feb 23, 2016
