Just heard today August 20/17 about Richard. Shocked and so sorry. He was a longtime school friend that I should have kept in contact with. My deepest sympathy to his family.

To Lin and all the family, my sincere sympathy. Although we knew Richard was ill and suffering, he was always so optimistic and always – always had that great smile. My last memory of him is as he popped in to wish Robyn well on her big day. Richard loved his golf and our family was flattered when Richard and Lin complimented our course by moving here to retire. I trust that your many fond memories of Richard as husband, father, & grandfather will sustain you all in the future. Once again my sincerest sympathy. CA
