Tribute to Richard by his youngest brother William I Write this to pay respects to a good man, and to me a great brother, who gave me many happy memories in my life, especially when i was a child. I rember many times when Richard would put me and my brothers before himself, with only our happiness and well being in mind. which to me truly makes a man. Though we grew apart as the years past, my respect for him remained. I never expressed this to you as much as I should have Richard, but the love was still there. You were an outrageous character, but I belive the best ones often are. Nobody is perfect, but you came closer than most. We were never perfect as a family, but we never wanted it to come to this. A bit late now I know, all I hope is that you have now found peace and happiness. If anyone deserves it, it is you. As we laid you to rest and said our goodbyes I hope I showed you how much you were loved, you left us to soon, but you will never be forgotten, May God bless your soul and keep you.
