May God's love fill you. God in his great wisdom took Richard to be home with Him in Heaven where he will never be sick again. Lean on Him when the days are difficult as they sometimes will. My sincerest sympathy to all of you. My thoughts and prayers are and will continue to be with you. I will greatly miss Richard's presence at Brewer games. He was a great friend and an awesome person to talk Brewers with. Richard, see if you can get God to agree that the Brewers need a world series. Love you all. If you need anything please let me know.
