  9. I worked many, many years at UNCA along with Richard. We had many talks over the years and I don’t think I ever saw him when he didn’t mention his kids and grandkids. I know he loved all of you very much. Richard, I hope you are surrounded by the beauty of Heaven, are in the presence of our Lord, and are at peace. Love ya buddy🙏

  20. 27 years ago I gained a brother who then became the middle child of the family. Even though we didn’t grow up together during childhood we instantly became best friends and siblings. What a great time we had when you visited all of us in New Mexico, fishing and sightseeing. Even when times were sad in Florida with mom we all hung together. Your nephew often talked about how you liked his knives and Beth Dutton! Fly high bro we all love you. P.s. nice shirt

  22. I had the honor of knowing Richard when I worked at the Copy Center and Campus Operations at UNC Asheville. He was always friendly and always made time for me if I needed anything. He was a great sole and he will surely be missed. RIP my friend.
