My hearfilled thoughts and prayers go out to the Yobaggy family in this hour. Richard and I were both in the Weir High Band together and graduated together in 1983. While I was mobilized in 2003-2005 and 2009, we kept in contact thru facebook and would keep in touch that way. He will be very missed in our band brothers as we were called. Brady, Tim, Bobby and Darren were always considered my band brothers and Richard was a great trumpet player. TAPS will be playing in your honor my brother.
My deepest condolences on the loss of Rich. Many memories of my high school days include him. May God hold you all in the palm of his hand during this difficult time.
