Richard, a man whose life reflected values, integrity and a flawless character. Peg I know he valued his marriage to you most of all, as well as his family and friends. Always a twinkle in his eye, a jingle in his pocket and of course that million dollar smile. We are so grateful for having the both of you in our lives and will cherish the memories we have in our hearts forever. We love you, Emory & Connie Lee
