    I will miss my big brother Richard so very much. He will always be in my heart and part of him is still in this world in his daughters Cheryl, Laurie, Jennifer and his grandchildren. My deepest sympathies go out to Mandy and her children and grandchildren.

    I love you grandpa more than you could ever know, you were the best grandpa a kid could ask for, I wish we could have been closer and have spent more time together. I love you, your grandson Zack Cotta

    Richard was my oldest brother. Due to distance we never had the opportunity to spend the time together that I would have liked, but when we did it was some of the best times in my life. I loved him dearly and missed him daily. I send my sympathies to those who knew him and loved him in Laredo. He was a good man and had a heart of gold as I am sure all of you know. Love you brother, may you rest in peace.

    I love you Dad and miss you so much. I will miss our talks we had every weekend. I thought about you all day Saturday when I went fishing. I remembered all you have taught me and felt you with me. I still have your smallmouth bass on my wall. I could not have asked for a better father than you, I love you.
