What I loved most about my Uncle Richard was that he never held any against me and accepted me as I really am. He was a fun guy and a caring friend.  Once we went in his sail boat out on the bay/ocean in Boston.  We stopped and I dived in to swim and when I can up I saw Richard drinking a beer really fast as the wind caught the sail and the mast blowing the boat over toward me.  I dived back down and came up to see him in the water.  It took a lot out of us to get that boat back up, towed to an island, fixed the rudder and on the way to the dock got stuck on a sand bar. Best adventure I ever had and my fondest memory of being with him. I was about fifteen and I admired him.

Richard was my closest uncle.  He was the most forgiving, giving, caring person.  Growing up he baby sat me, took me out on the bay with his sale boat which we almost drown together in and I love telling that story.  He always took my collect calls when I was away from home trying to make a living. I always knew he was there for me.  We talked on the phone many times and that is what I'll miss the most.  He use to say that when he gets old and decrepit I will take care of him.  Just recently I told him your old now, but not decrepit because he still rode his motorcycle and did things on his own.  I feel bad that I won't have that time with him now.  He may of been 84, but he was still vital. He was taken too soon.  But, as my father Gerald F. Parsons, his brother, would say, "Your time comes when it comes."  I pray to Jesus that God lets his soul into Heaven.  I also believe your life is worth while if someone cries when you go.  His life was really worth while because I'm crying many tear.  God Bless my Uncle Richard C. Parsons! Go my friend into the light!
