Richard you will always be in my heart. A great Marine, a great friend, a greater brother! Your memory will never fade and for the rest of my days I will honor and tribute our friendship. You overcame so much and devoted yourself to being the best version you could be in the last several years of your life. I'm saddened to not see the rest of your life here blossom further, but you were called to new life. You've proven yourself enough. You fought the fight. Until we meet again, rest easy my brother, I love you and God keep you and bless you!
