Best Game Night Partner
I will never forget your laugh. It was contagious. Your warmth and humor will stay with me forever. You were the Best Game Night Partner. Each one was made that much more fun because you were a part of it. The very last time we visited, it was not supposed to be a Game Night but you said, "where are the games?" and then we played. Thank You for that memory. I love you, Richard. You will always be, One Of The Good Ones! ❤️
