I will miss Rich very much. When I was pregnant with my daughter, he prayed with me that she would be born healthy. What a special guy. I’ll never forget him. Rest peacefully, Rich.

Gary, my deepest sympathy to you and your family. May Richard Rest In Peace.
Deepest Sympathy…..🙏🏼🕊😢 he was a good man
As “some” memories come to mind: Uncle Richard way back use to love to stay up kinda late & watch some old late night shows. He loved to go fishing. He could really play the organ. He liked to go to Piano-Organist Concerts. He enjoyed watching the Ball Games “ Pirates “. He loved planting outdoor Flowers every year. He had a Beautiful Flower Garden right at the front of GrandPaps Garden and all along the block driveway wall and steps to the porch each year. He was really smart and he was such a Good Good Caring Person. God Bless You Greatly Uncle Richard in His Heaven.

My Deepest Sympathy to the Family. Mr. Hinchee was one of my favorite high school teachers. I don’t believe I ever seen him not smiling the entire semester. Such a great guy.
