  • My very deepest condolences on the tragic and untimely passing of your Richard. As his K teacher at McDowell School I recall a very smart pixie of a boy who had a mischievous sparkle to his personality! His sudden passing leaves me with a heavy heart that something like this should happen to a young man in the prime of life. Maybe God will let us know why at some point in the future. In the meantime know that many people have you in their thoughts and will continue to wish you strenth and peace as you remember the wonderful memories of your son and brother.
