Richard was a great friend. We ran around Columbus a lot back in the 70s and 80s when working at Ross Labs (Abbott Laboratories). We rode his motorcycle a lot back then. Richard's family and friends are in my prayers and have my condolences. I went to Kentucky a few months back to spend a couple of days with Richard "Dick", but he went in the hospital. I was told that he wasn't allowed visitors. Rest In Peace, my friend.

A very great friend! All good memories. Our sons raced their little 60cc Motorcycles at Honda Hills together. We along with other guys from Abbott would ride our motorcycles to Louisville every year to watch the motorcycle races. He always kept us laughing and entertained! Will miss Richard. Rest in peace man.

Richard was a hoot. When he worked on the 32oz can line and I worked on Receiving 1 docks, we talk and laugh all day. We were great friends. Rest in peace Dick.
