I made contact with a friend of Richard. His name is Gerald Knox. Gerald served with Richard during the Vietnam War but were separated shortly before he made the ultimate sacrifice. Gerald remembers richard well and stated that he thinks of him often. he remembers that richard was an "ACE" at playing cards and could not be beat.
