Angie Counts wrote a sympathy message

“I am so sorry to hear of Richard’s passing. He has been a friend since my youth. I was also heartbroken to have learned from Richard’s obituary that Randy had also passed away. I came to their Moms funeral and that is the last time I had seen either of them. Condolences for their family. Both will be missed. They were both such a huge part of my youth and the people I hung out with every weekend. So many of us are no longer here and sadly these two are among them. Angie ( Dickey) Counts”
