Thank you all for the phone calls, cards, flowers, etc. I knew my dad touched many lives but really don’t know until they are gone. My family was Blessed. 

To celebrate his life “Richards’ way” we are joining the Liberty Car Show this coming Sunday 1-6. Please come out and bring your classic cars if you have one or not. Weather will be great! Please spread the word. Look forward to a BIG show out.

I just got off the phone with Ann his daughter  

2 hrs ago of me posting this he had a heart attack driving down the road in his s10 with Joyce. Luckily she got the truck stopped and they avoided further disaster. 

Rescue squad tried for 45 min but he passed away.  😢 

I've known Richard and Joyce since may of 2006. He was a great friend, my engine builder, but a husband and dad.

We lost a great man today. I'm in shock....

 

Please keep this family in your prayers especially Joyce they did everything together.  And his daughter.

Tragic news . Thoughts and prayers to the family, to you and all who have known him. Jared, I know how hard it is to lose a great friend. Lost my Uncle last Christmas. Grew up with him when I was in my early teens. Think about the times I was with him, you do the same with Richard,that will make a smile come across when you need it. Sorry for your loss of a good friend.

I hope the weather is nice for the show. 

It's always hard to say goodbye to the people that we care about. I always enjoyed talking with Richard, He was a walking encyclopedia when it came to engines .
