Rick and Lisa, I've thought a lot about your wonderful Dad through all these years. I was attending college in Colorado Springs in the mid-70's and worked at E-Z Clothing most of the time. What a gentlemen and honest man he was. I learned so much about life from him. I was in my mid-20's and newly married. My wife and I still remember the gift he bought us for our first born son. Your Mom Bebe was so much fun. I just discovered this obituary tonight while thinking of your wonderful Dad. I hope you get to see these comments. I met both of you several times in the store and at your home one time when your Grandpa passed away. God bless you all as you fondly remember your Dad. I'm sure you miss him so much.

Lisa and Rick, I haven't thought about your dad for a long time, but he was truly a gentleman and I have very fond memories of Richard's and growing up in the "hood." He was a wonderful man. Our love and prayers are with you and your families. Sam
