Richard always kept in touch with all of us when he lived away from his hometown of Charlotte for most of the last 50 years and his visits were always a source of joy with larger and larger family gatherings through the years. He was very lucky to have been able to travel extensively during those years and see the world as he always wanted also. He had many friends all over the country and world and he continued to keep in touch with them during his last years spent here with his family. He is also survived by his Aunt Billie McConnell of Huntersville and his Aunt Barbara with husband Barry Choate of Waxhaw and many first and second cousins he endeavored to stay in touch with also.
