I always enjoyed our rides from Idaho to California seemed like we did this ride every weekend, Richard would sing Clint Black songs and we would sing the whole ride down. The rides seemed so short when they were actually 16 hour rides. Richard made life Fun and sometimes a little scrary but that was Richie living as today was his last.After our divorce we stayed in touch and I met his wife jeniffer and told him "I love here so be good to her!" He met my family and we all got along. He called me at least 3x a year after he moved to MO. He said if we ever loose touch just google my name cause I will be doing somthing great and it will be known. One day i had this odd feeling and I have not heard from him and I was watching the news and they had talked about MO having fatal car accidents on the highway due to icy roads. I thought to myself Rich knows how to drive safe so it wont be him. In June of 2007 I googles Richard and it took me back to University of Nebraska and said "In Memory of Richard L. Flores" My heart sank, i was sad and could not beleive what i was reading. I never got to say good-bye :(
I have tons of memories of you from 1986-1996 thru 2005. I am in the processes of writing a book and yes you are in it in a few chapters. You were a great friend and hard to hate but loved deeply was easy. RIP-Till we all meet again i hope you are visiting my parents.
Your Friend
