George and I were very great friends in High School and beyond. We used to correspond often when he was in the service and especially when he was stationed in Biloxi, Miss. We have written often and even more recently when our good friend, Larry Graber, passed away. We exchanged saddness emails over this loss but George did not tell me that he was also progressively sick. He was a man's man. I will miss George and Larry greatly. George sent me this picture recently.

Hi Jane, There is saddness in the passing of Richard. However, there is always the footprint of his laughter, love, and closeness that you both have always shared with your family and friends.
God bless Richard, you, and your entire family.
