Richard and me (they incorrectly taught us to say Richard and I at Sheridan) were classmates from 1st through 12th grade. I don't remember if he was in my kindergarten class, but I don't believe he was. Rich was a true South High Warrior and the most popular guy in the Class of 1965. I was shocked to learn of his abrut and untimely death. Losing a peer makes you grasp your own mortality by the tigers tail. You see, God is prankster who condems everyone to death at the instant of conception. Richard was no exception. I have added a you tube link, please copy and paste the link into your browser. This one is from me to you Rich.
Richard was a person that always took time to say Hi when we were in the hall or at a dance! I will always remember how when looking for graduates he visited my father inorder to get my married name and address! He was a person that will be missed! My heart goes out to his Family! Gwen Hilston
A wonderful person. He made you feel popular even if you weren't. He will be greatly missed!!! Too bad I can't tell him this in person! Those of us still here need to remember to tell our friends and families how much we appreciate them!!
