We were Richard´s neighbors for almost 15 years in Warrenton and have so many fond memories. We enjoyed a few years of UVA football games with him in Charlottesville, and were always happy to spend time with him. I just saw of his passing as I looked to send him a Christmas greeting. I´m so sorry for your loss, and will remember Richard with great fondness.

My husband and I met Richard in Virginia, many years ago. He was a gentleman, kind, generous of spirit. He and I enjoyed good red wine with meals . I visited with him a couple times in NC when I relocated. Always a pleasure to share time with him. He will be missed.

Richard was the fun uncle everyone deserves to have. He had the best sense of humor and always knew how to make you laugh and smile.
He was a true gentleman, and a man of pride, never wanting to trouble you with anything and always had a way of lifting up your spirit.
Along with his honor also came his impeccable taste and style, and when it came to his wardrobe, he was always dressed to the nines.
His love for dogs was unmatched - Mattie and Luke were his pride and joy. He always had a funny saying that I have taken to use myself, calling them "good bad dogs" among other endearing nicknames.
I miss my uncle dearly, but he will always be remembered for the amazing man and friend he was. He was the kind of man I aspire to be.
Love you Uncle Richard

I did not know Richard well and only met him briefly, but he was always a gentleman, a perfect host, and a very thoughtful man. His funeral service was such a wonderful tribute, and I hope he can now reunite with his son Matthew for eternity.

Barbara and I offer our condolences for the passing of this lovely man, who shared joy with all those who had the good fortune to know him. We loved to chat with him whenever he was in town and walked his white poodle Luke by our home. He never recovered from the passing of his son. We hope he has found peace in heaven.

To Richard´s family, friends and Linda, Richard was such a sweet man that we had the pleasure of being in his company a number of times. He was always smiling and the most impeccably dressed man I´ve ever known.
Rest in peace, Richard
