August 25, 2023 at 8:54 pmI am very sorry to hear of Richard’s passing back in January. Richard hired me back in 1977 as a doorman for GCC in Wichita. I had the honor to work for him and with him for about 8 years. I always enjoyed hearing of his time in the US Army and of his experience int the movie theatre business. My sincere condolences to his family and friends.
