Richard was the best friend a person could ever have! It has been 14 years since he was shot right in front of me,and they say time makes it easier but its not true! If only we had not left when we did then the guys responsible for his death could have gone some where besides in front of my appartment. It was the worst thing the guy who shot Richard! and after all this time I still remember what a kind man with such a big heart, The death of anyone is a very sad thing but a death of a person who only did good for others that was so un nessasary and still makes me sad and for his whole family to have had to fill such sadness and still do. it is just wrong when someone is taken away way before his life was lived a life ended when he was just ready to retire and live a complete happy life. To all his friends and family maybe you have found some way to understand the loss we can never get back but myself I will always love and miss him!
