Richard, I had it on my heart to connect with you earlier this year but couldn't find you. Though we lost touch over the years, you and your wife have always been dear to me. I remember many times at your kitchen table listening to you and Netta each having a seperate conversation with me at the same time. I remember my first visit to New Port Richey, pulling into a restaurant to use a pay phone (1980's) to call you, and you and Netta were there already having breakfast. What were the chances of finding both of you along busy US19 like that? You and Netta have always made me feel welcomed. Our friendship was among the dearest I have ever had. I will miss you buddy until the Lord decides to call me. You are gone for a season but we shall meet again. The thought of reunion helps lessen the pain I feel now. Your brother in Christ, Michael
