Wow! I am shocked and saddened that such a funny and vibrant person has left us. I was a Staff Sergeant at Camp Argonaut back in 1987. Richard was a section Corporal under me. We had so much fun that summer! It was the best year of my cadet years! After growing being bullied, I didnt have much self confidence. Richard made it so easy to fit in. Even though I was his superior, we treated each other as equals. I never had to give him orders and he never ever undermined my authority. I am sorry we never continued our friendship beyond that summer, but I will be saddened knowing he is gone. My thoughts and prayers are with you all right now. Know that Richard had a profound effect on one shy and quirky 17 year old back in 1987. I will never forget him.
