I remember this day like it was yesterday!!Thanksgiving 2017.  You won the trophy and the gift card!! Zack was so mad.  We had a great time though!!! Thanks for the laughter and the fun!!

I have had the privelege of knowing Richard for the last 9 months since working here at USX. We just had a conversation on Thanksgiving night while he was at work. He was always kind to me and never complained to me about anything except the trucks not being fueled (LOL). He was truly a good guy and always asked how we were doing and always told us to have a good night when he left. He will be truly missed!!  My sincere condolences to his wife and family. My prayers are with you.

Sincerely,
Jena

Rich, I still can't believe there won't be any more monthly phone calls with you.  We never did make it down this year to visit you and Angel like we planned and I will forever regret that.  I never would have thought you would be gone this young.  Thank you for grilling and all the laughs when we would hang out.  Thank you for all the advice you would give Chris about driving truck.  You were a wonderful man and a great friend.  James and I will miss you.   Love you.

I know we weren't on very good terms these last few years ...
 but we did have so many good times 
If it  won't for you getting me behind the wheel goin 65 up interstate 95 from Florida I would not be the driver I am now .  We drove across country saw so many things an quite a few tornados.  The best was when you come home from California pick me up and I  drive to VA Beach while you slept( with out my license haha)... Many years later few different companies I end up at the same company you once worked at  running the same roads  we did when we work for HILL TRUCKING AND GRADING  .....
i know we won't on very good terms but we did have so many good times 
Fly high driver we got your loads from here ....  KEEP YOUR GOWN DOWN
 DONT BE MESSING AROUND  BEEP BEEP.                      🚛🚛🚛🚛 TRUCKING UP!!!!!!you will be missed 
RIP IN PEACE SHOWTIME 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

I'm so sorry for your loss.  Moonshine will be greatly missed.  He was more than just one of our drivers.  He was a friend.

Knowing you for 40 plus years was a great privilege.   You were my brother and always will be. Rest in peace you will be greatly missed.

Showtime, I’m still in shock. You were the best big brother I could ever have. All the family things we did as a family. You will be missed but never forgotten. Rest in paradise…I love you

Katie & Elizabeth, I am so sorry for the loss of your Dad. Just remember all the good and fun memories you have. Love you both. 
Nancy Gonsalves (Philene's Mom)
