What causes did Richard care about most?

Mike Glass

He worked for 40 years working for other people fixing engines and stuff like that he was a machine operator for Barry machine for 25 years until he retired my mother passed away before he was able to retire but six months after he finally retired he had his first stroke I guess that's life's way of big more difficult he was never the same after that another small stroke a year later weather on September 23rd three days before his birthday he had a massive stroke in the back of his brain and was considered brain dead they flew in from Mason City to Iowa City and kept in the intensive Care unit at a cost of $150,000 for one week $17,000 to fly him there the funeral expenses and headstone for him and my mother I can't believe how expensive this stuff is but he's worth every dime of it to me my brothers also passed away so I have no family help or financial help with any of this I would really appreciate any help anyone could donate thank you and he did donate his organs to help other people to have a better life he donated his liver his kidneys his eyes and skin samples tell the other people that were in need and I'm grateful for that at least he lives on with them and I encourage everyone to become an organ donor it sure can't hurt you you're not using them anymore but he was able to help five other people to have a better longer and better life thank you for all your help
