Senior & I shared a special bond. I would always check on him whenever his son Richard & I talked. I visited him at all the places he resided in Georgia. He had a humorous side which would have me laughing. You will be missed Senior. Rest in Paradise. Your favorite girl❤😢oq

"Big" Richard was my "cool" uncle: he drove a cool car, had a cool wife, had cool kids and lived in the cool state of California. I'll never forget visiting him there when I was very young because we went to Disneyland! Even in his later years, he always was just so cool. These were just some of my fond memories of him. He was quite a character, may he rest in soulful peace.
