My thoughts and prayers to his wife Lois and family. My friend Richard was a very caring and kind man. You could always kid with him and he always told the funniest stories and I will be missed but will not forget him. Rest in Paradise my friend

Sending my condolence to Lois and your family, I met Richard, (Ricardo) is the name I called him, two years ago at my work place AM PM in Tacoma Eastside, 104th and Portland when I work graveyard and swing and he would come in all different times to get his refill diet coke 52oz or he would send his wife Lois to get his soda, the sweeties customer always had a smile no matter how his day went, two month ago Lois had Richard in the car and I went outside to say hello he give me a big tight hug and a kiss on the check I will never forget that day, you will be truly miss.
