Thank you for a wonderful piece. I was married to Richard for 23 years and I still miss him every single day. I met him when I worked for Rifle and Handloader magazines. Dave LeGate took me to meet him for my first gun purchase. Liked him from the moment I saw him. He had Pompes disease, a rare form of Muscular Dystrophy.
The last month of his life was extremely hard-even harder than the 12 years he was so ill. He is ok now. He still seems to watch over me when something bad could happen to me. Miss him. First and only love of my life. Selling his home in Prescott was very difficult for me but it was time to combine households with my mom and sister.
God Bless you for remembering him. He would have loved that. I have to think that he knows.
