Bonnie, I am sorry to hear that Richard passed away. I remember him stopping at my Farmer's Market booth this past summer, and we chatted for a few minutes. He planted some trees for me about a year ago on our new acreage. May God give you courage to face the future, With sympathy, Trevor Aleman Busy Bea's Market Garden
