Richard was a great guy that left us way too early. During football season we would endure the same wrath. Coach Carlton always called us fence post and remined us over and over again that if he wanted a fence post planted at the end of the defensive line, he would have planted them. Richard and I would get this speech about once a week during football season and one of us would always get their helmet removed without unbuckling the chin strap. Rest in peace good friend.

Yes, Richard left way too soon! So sad. I remember him in English class with Mr. Jarvis, Richard always had the most interesting book reports!
