He was always there to share his opinion, as others did. </P>
<P class=MsoNoSpacing>Richard was active in most of the ham radio assisted operating events such as the Mini Marathon, 500 Festival Parade, ADA Tour-de-Cure, Indpls Half Marathon, along with others.</P>
<P class=MsoNoSpacing>He hung out on the 146.700 Repeater and was very active with Skywarn, mostly being the liaison from the local net on the 146.760 to the statewide net on the 146.970.</P>
<P class=MsoNoSpacing>Being blind did not stop Richard from doing anything he set out to do. He volunteered for pretty much everything. </P>
<P class=MsoNoSpacing>The past few years, Richard owned and operated a vending machine refilling business which kept him busy enough to be off the radio a lot.</P>
<P class=MsoNoSpacing>His voice will be missed --- 73 Richard, you were a good friend.<BR clear=all></P>
