COMMENTS:
Richard was dedicated to his work and family. He was quiet but had a wicked sense of humor. He was known for his well placed remarks at just the right time. He worked on the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo missions. Worked for Boeing.
We are so very proud of him and the work he did. It was amazing to finally visit the Cape as an adult, see Mission Control where he sat and the inside of the capsules he helped maintain before launches.
