I had the privilege to be Richards apprentice for a few months at Gold Crest Electric , he could do anything and gave me the ability to think I could too. Great man and a great influence on me as a young man. God Bless him and his family. Cardell Elly Charlie and Kyle DeLeon
So sorry for your loss. Richard was a great man. He may not had been blood kin but he was our family also. He will be greatly missed .
To my one and only 1st cousin on the Weston side. So many memories, from especially your June 9th on your 80th Birthday at Sartin’s with your Sister Roberta, you loved every minute.
If it wasn’t for my friend Peggy Laird you never would met your wife Linda when she working at Gulf States.
You were my best friend helping me out all way there for me anytime.
Now please watch over me and Robert as a true guardian angle, you are so missed.
