I spent many days with my brother-in-law before he left us for a huge party that we are not invited yet. He always had something nice to say, loved his cooking TV programs , cars, & cross word puzzles. I know is having a great time with his two yorkies he lost a while back.
I will miss him terribly as I know SUZANNE, & all his family will ( plus his little yorkie , Rex. )
With loving thoughts & prayers. Dianne & FRED Taylor

It's always very sad to lose someone close and a family member. My sister,Suzanne loved him as we've never seen someone show so much love for their husband.As Suzanne's brother, Janice,my loving wife and I loved him very much also. This leaves a great void in all our lives and we will miss him every day.
Richard was a very caring person and that we will carry with us forever.
