I'd like to extend my sympathy to Richard's family at this sad time. Richard loved history! I quickly learned that while I worked at the Kings County Museum for many years. Richard saved, researched and recorded many aspects of the heritage of the county. His love of genealogy, maps and early roads, and the artifacts he collected was well known and he was always eager to share his stories with me and others. His work with the Burial Care Society helped save many abandoned cemeteries in the county bringing dignity back to those buried and long forgotten. Thank you Richard for your many years of volunteer work with the Kings Historical Society, the Community and Family History Committee and the Burial Care Society. You will be missed!
