We will greatly miss Richard. I have so many fond memories of spending time with him at Prosise and Cecca get togethers. Richard had such a sense of humor and warmth that he always lit up the room. We miss him greatly. Our sincerest condolences to Linda, Diane, and Denise…. your father was a terrific man and such a caring father. We are thinking of the entire family during this difficult time.

Linda, Dianne and Denise,
I am a former co-worker of your mother’s. I worked with Virginia and Margie McFarlane at the Vienna Trust Company many years ago. I did not know your father, but feel like I knew him and you three girls because of your mom. I only met your father once time when he brought your mother to my birthday party at my parents’ house in Vienna 15-years ago. I could tell by that meeting that he was a great guy. I’m so sorry that I did not see this a few days ago because I was in Vienna yesterday. I would have stopped by had I known. God bless you and your mom with strength at this difficult time.
