I have been a patient of Dr. Richard for 27 years, ever since moving to Louisville. I remember seeing Dr. Pyle in Muncie shortly after graduating from Ball State and telling him that I was moving to Louisville. He responded that a buddy of his that he went to dental school with had a practice in Jeffersonville, if I didn´t mind crossing the bridge. Well, I didn´t mind and I crossed that bridge for 27 years for cleanings, fillings and a few crowns, referred others to him and am deeply saddened after learning this news. He always asked about my kids and was genuine with his patients. I could ask "is this something I need to take care of immediately, or do I have a little time?" And I always trusted his answer. He was a great dentist and person, and will be missed. My prayers are with his family, staff and patients.

Dr. Richard was mine and my parents' dentist for longer than I can remember! He was such a personable, kind man and he always looked out for his patients and had their best interest at heart. We are all truly saddened to hear this news. Sending love and keeping his family, and his work family, in my thoughts.
