Richard and Barb enjoyed date nights, and were such a wonderful couple till her last days. They joined my friends and I a few times when they went out dancing. Then Richard was my company every morning at 6am as I did the floors. Always there to turn on the hall lights and move chairs . . . I will always have such good memories of Richard and Barb.💙🙏💙
Sorry for your loss. Have fun memories of Richard & Barb. as my late husband Bob & connected with them in mid 80’s . Lived miles apart shared some fun, several times. Now they are united again . Rest in peace .
