This website is dedicated to my father. We want to keep his memory alive by having a place for his family, friends and loved ones to go to remember his amazing life. Richard was taken from us too soon and his loss is an unbearable pain to my family. We wish to remember him with honor, grace and love. We would love to hear about the good times with Richard and all the lives he touched and we know there are many. He was an amazing husband father, and friend. He will be deeply missed and forever loved. His spirit and laugh will echo in our hearts forever.
We love and miss you Dad....

I will never say goodbye to you my Father
cause I know this is not the end for us to see each other.
You will only be going to a place where there’s no pain nor suffering.
I am happy for you, for you will be with God.
For now we need to go in separate ways.
I remember how your arms hold me and give me strength.
You were always there to listen, love, and defend me in everything.
You were my very best friend.
In my triumphs you were always proud.
I’m very grateful and proud to call you my dad.
Here deep inside my heart you’ll always be.
I would give up everything I have just to hug you one more time.
I remember the last time I hold you’re hand and how you looked at me in the eyes.
If only I could turn back the time I would have never let you go.
I felt the world stops and my heart stop beating when they told me you’re gone…….
How I wish I was only dreaming.
Just like the rain; tears fell down from my eyes, I couldn’t speak for a while.
Thank you Dad….
For always understanding, listening , caring, and loving me for the rest of your life.
The greatest gift God gave me was YOU…….. my Dad…
It’s difficult to let you go but I must…
I must return the gift God gave me…
Till then;
See you in Heaven………
