I have been able to call Richard my friend for the last 9 years. I treasured my mornings in June, July and August on Trenton Beach, especially when Richard, Ed, and Skip were all at their fishing spots. Richard was a tough guy for me to get to know, but once he accepted me, we had an amazing relationship. We had so many private jokes and shared so many laughs together. He was very generous with fishing advice and even simple life philosophies. We often differed on our philosophies, but we easily laughed at our differences. I am better for having known Richard and I will certainly miss him and won't forget him. I will be out of the state on Aug. 3rd, but my thoughts will be with Richard's family. Rest in Peace my friend. You can be certain that the Trenton Beach morning crew including Mike L, Coast Guard Mike, Pete, Luke, Skip, and especially Ed will never forget you and you will live in our stories and memories. You are missed.
