  1. My prayers for the family. Richard was a wonderful man with a great sense of humor. Many years ago when Dena and I were visiting at Christmas Richard took me to Midnight Mass at the Cathedral in Lexington because he knew I didn\’t want to miss Mass on Christmas. I will never forget that act of serving the Lord just to benefit me. I know there are many small acts of kindness that he did for others. You will be missed.

  2. My prayers go out to the family. He was a wonderful man I am going to miss him I loved him as if he was one of my grandpa.
