Richard and I became friends in elementary school. Over the sixty plus years of friendship, there are just too many memories to share here. Being the two smallest in cub scouts, during parades Richard and I were at the front of the pack carrying the American and Cub Scout flags. In high school we were the Spanish Everly Brothers when the assignment was to pair up and sing a Spanish song. Its the world's lost that our rendition of "La Cucaracha" was not recorded and released to the public at large. After military service, Richard and I, by chance, ended up in Tallahassee at the same time to continue our education. Sunday's became a regular get together for cookouts, Boone's Farm and football. Our later years we relocated to different cities, but managed to maintain our lifelong friendship with occasional reunions with Wayne and Joe and Jimmy. I was also honored to be asked by Richard to be Lori's godfather. Over last three months, I have lost three friends, but losing Richard is the one that carries the most memories. Adios, amigo
We have much memories of Richard and his family..we lived across the street from them in Hollywood.many years ago..
One memory that comes to mind on a constant is the way we're to eat ribs...one of our dinners with the family Richard told my son..the only and proper way to eat ribs is to close your eyes while eating them! To this day we always Remember Richard when we eat ribs!! Thank you for this and many other memories Richard!! God bless your family..rest in peace!

Sheila & family (and Dianne):
Sending condolences to all of you at this time of great loss. I, too, am a cousin of Richard (and Dianne) from Missouri. I remember the Dubberly's family visits to see us in Union, MO when we were all children. It seemed "so exotic" to me as a youngster to have cousins travel such a distance for a summer visit and I treasure those memories. May your loving memories of Richard sustain you during this time.
Sincerely,
Rita (Peirick) Burk
I am one of Richard's Missouri cousins. His devotion to family was evident from his visits to us despite the distance that separated us. We were all lucky to have known him at all.
