So sorry to hear of Richard passing away. I knew Shirley and Richard for many years while living in Colonial Heights. They were both such great friends. My condolances to the family.
So sorry to hear of Richard passing. He was always a delight to see at the library. I have a picture of a beautiful sunset hanging in my living room. He was a very kind person.
