I was real sadden yesterday when I learned that Richard was killed in action last August of 2001. The last time I was in contact with him was way back when we were still living in Japan. I got to know him real well only in the last year that he was there...but in that short time he was a GREAT friend and watched over me like a big brother. Here are more photos that I found of the crazy times we shared. Richard, I hope you are looking down on us with smiles. Thanks for your bravery and your friendship.
You have and will continue to be missed.
Me with Richard and Ashley...just being plain 'ole silly off base

Awwww, this is sooo sad!!! I remember hearing about this story when I was still living in SD! Had no idea he was a fellow YoHian!
Karen, please remind us to put him in our Memorium.
I know...I got all choked up when I first found out. Definitely, I'll remind you - Claud.
Marie, do you know if he married or had any kids?
Karen, you can read about it here:

Yeah, go to the Arlington site to read more about it.
When I went last year I just stood there in shock looking at his headstone. Too too sad. Can't believe he's gone. He was such a good person.
