Our thoughts and prayers are with Richards's family and many friends in this time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort. Richard during his adult life worked to help others and was respected by all that used his services. He was an excellent attorney, judge, and a good friend to us all. Richard will be missed by us all in this area.

Both Richard and his mother, Mrs. Rosalee, were very good friends of mine. Every Thanksgiving for the past several years, I would cook them a turkey and take it to them, and he would always pull out his wallet and try to pay me. He talked about his love of his family during the holidays, as he would still drive up to the Atlanta area to visit, with the exception of this past year. I will miss my friend, as there will never be another like him. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. There will never be another like him.
