. You will live forever in our memories and hearts.
Mr. BigFoot.. That is what i have called Mr. Richard since the first day i visited him and Debbie in high school... many great memories of parties and bonfires... he and Debbie were great hosts to us and when Heath (Jinks) and I married... we became their next door neighbors for several years... Heath and I still have a special place in our Hearts for Mr. Big Foot... You are greatly missed and will always remain "Mr. Big Foot" to me... Lots of Love.....
Damn, I can take a good picture. I remember when you rode down for me to take these pictures, you didn't have a clue what they were going to do with them. We all miss you. The holidays are always the hardest to get through, the first ones, real hard. Keep watching over us. We love you brother.
The day you past away is the latest memory I have of you. Me and A Chris walked over to see you cause I had to work that night.. You were sitting in your chair and you turned around and looked at me and stuck your tounge out at me... I told you to stop and you smiled at me... I told you you looked like Papa Neciase, and we all laughed... I told you good bye and kissed you on the cheek and went home... That night i got a call from Christopher to come home... Im sorry that i couldnt walk in there and see you after you had passed away I was just not ready At that moment i wanted to remember the last morning we had together!!!
I love you Uncle Richard

PS i was so happy to share such a wonderful day our BIRTHDAY with you!!!!
Since it is close to Halloween, I have to share this! We always would decorate the house and try to scare each other at Aunt Debbie and Uncle Richard's. One weekend before Halloween, all us girls had a sleep over. We were hanging out being young pre teenage girls. We were in Beth's room and we heard a scratch at the window. It was late and there were quite a few of us there (at least 10 girls), so we thought it might have been some of the guys picking at us. We looked out the window, and nothing. A little later, it happened again. Once again nothing. When it happened again, we all had to look to see if any of us would "catch" whoever it was..........let me just say, we caught each other as we tried to get away from that window as fast as possible! When we looked out the window, all we saw was Unle Richard's face screaming back at us. The looks on our faces had to be priceless!!! He gave us a hard time about that for years! We always had a blast hanging out over there!
