I met Richard when he was a D.J. at the Savoy Hotel. I believe he was 17 at the time. His passing is a shock and a sad, sad day for me and everyone he knew. He always had my back and would step up to the plate when things were rough. I'll miss you my friend. - Posted by: Michael McCoo (aka Kramer) (Close friend) on: Jul 11, 2018

Prayers and hugs. Richard loved to tease me get me going. A good listener at times. He made me laugh. I often said joking to him "Mr. Mom you got to slow down" He would be quick to often help people. A real character, hardworking, busy, and always on the go. - Posted by: Susan Jorgensen-Sarson (Friend) on: Jul 08, 2018
