I will deeply miss my uncle Richard greatly. He loved me and my family unconditionally and did so much for my kids. Our family will always remember the times we spent with him and aunt Marie and continue to share with her. No better gift could have been given that we scheduled our time to come visit you would turn into your last day here on earth with us. Till we meet again in heaven uncle Richard, love you!🩷
Rest in Peace Uncle!
RIP Gibby, we were Sergeants together in SHU and The Yard. We both have been Masons for many years, also seen our girls go thru Jobs Daughters as Associate Bethel Guardians. You will be missed. Until we meet again my Masonic Brother and brother in arms, until we meet again!
Rest in Peace, Brother. Semper Fi.
Gibby, aka hoot. Man I am going to miss you my jar head brother. Been missing you since you and mama moved to Texas. Breaking you in as a new Sgt on B yard and how u would always come down to PSU for my coffee. I think you were just too cheap to buy your own. 🤣 Marie, I am so sorry to hear my friend. But I just know we will see him again when we get there. Love, blessings and prayers to all of you in Texas. Semper Fi Hoot and carry on my brother.
Love ya bro, Polky man
RIP Gibby. We had some fun times working together at PBSP.
Rest sweetly Uncle Richard. You are now, and always will be my favorite.
RIP Uncle Richard May you be joined by all your siblings, parents and nephew who gone before you! You held a special place in my heart as you took my family in when my parents split up and divorced; us moving cross country to come stay with you. You were an amazing person and man and you will be missed! I have so many great memories of the time we spent together as a child, you were more like a father figure than an uncle during that time and I’m eternally grateful. Special condolences to Aunt Marie and Tami and Richard Paul. May God Comfort you give you Peace and Strength now and in the days that follow.
Love Always,
Diana Howard
