I am so very sorry to hear that Richard has passed. I just found out. He was a wonderful man. God bless him and please take care of him.
I’m really sorry to hear about this. He was a great guy, full of life, and could bust balls like nobody’s business. I was actually wearing a frontier properties tee-shirt all day today that Rick (jr) lent me years ago. My heart goes out to you.
