Richard was a colleague and friend, and a trustee of the Hot Springs Showmen's Association. He was a very nice fellow with a great sense of humor, and his friends around the country and at HSSA are saddened to hear of his passing. Best wishes to Richard's family.##imported-begin##John Hanschen##imported-end##

Dear Robert and Family - we knew Richard years ago, I am a daughter of Glen Rice in KC. Sorry we could not make it to the funeral, but what I remember of Richard was his hysterical laughter and ornery side. Where he was, there was a huge laugh involved back when I knew him. It's been years. But his dear mom, Ruth, was a precious aunt and I loved her so much. Also Laura Geraldine. May God Bless You All and give you Comfort and Strength during this time.##imported-begin##Janice (Rice) Cox##imported-end##

Robert & Liz,
My thoughts are with you on the loss of one of the best friends I have ever had. I am moving back to St. Louis in just two weeks and will definitely pay my respects at his final resting place. I am proud that you have decided to reunite him with your grandfather as he would have wanted.
To Richard: Godspeed my friend, you will be missed.##imported-begin##Chris Stuffle##imported-end##
ROBERT AND FAMILY, OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU.
