Richard was a volunteer driver with Gaithersburg Meals-on-Wheels. Not only did he deliver a nutritious hot and cold meal at lunchtime to home-bound seniors, he offered a friendly visit to our neighbors in Gaithersburg, Montgomery Village and Washington Grove. For some of our clients, he was the only person they talked to all day. He made a difference to our community. He is missed by his fellow volunteers and our clients.

Sorry to hear about Richard's passing.  Always a joy to work with him on NSC/COAD issues.
