To Richard: I will miss you every day. I will miss your hilarious nicknames you'd call me...lunger, smokie, Cambrino, and whatever else you thought of in that moment. Lol. I never would have thought you'd leave. In my eyes, you are immortal. You took me in when no-one else would. You believed in me. Were hard on me because u genuinely cared. You did so much for me and everyone around you. I love u always!

There is not another man in my lifetime than I will miss more than you Richard. You left an impact on me that my own father wasn't able to. I still am not willing to accept I won't hear from you tomorrow asking how many we sold today and how many we have out for month and what we are running per copy. We had that talk every single day. Richard rest easy brother and I can't wait to get to the eternal retirement to see you again for us to enjoy a "sodey pop", butterfinger and yoohoo. I love you. "Chicken Wayne" Smith
