Julie and Linda were very good friends (maybe "Besties") and shared a lot of memories together, many more than I know. Linda and I frequently stopped at Ben and Julie's house when we were in Boise for other reasons. I/we had a lot of respect for how this woman handled her arthritific afflictions. Heroically. I'm sorry Ben now has to go on alone. RIP Julie.

I was saddened to get the message of his passing.
My most cherished memories have to do with the toil of putting up hay at his family farm. Riding the slip, stacking the bales with his grandpa (I think that's who it was) backing the tractor back and forth lifting the bales onto the stack with a Johnson (also called Jackson) hay fork. Richard would smile to hear me say that the best parts were the meals in his mom's kitchen...that seemed to go on and on...and sated the hungry teenaged boys. There wasn't a reunion that we didn't talk about these memories with each other.
I benefitted in knowing him, and his perpetual ear-to-ear smile. RIP Richard.
