My big brother Richard was my best friend. We shared the same birthdate July 6 although there was eleven years difference in age we grew very close as the only siblings. He joined the U.S Navy with his best friend Sonny Moholland after high school. His entire life was the U.S, Navy and his family one daughter and two sons. He served both on shore and at sea during the Vietnam conflict and returned home. He finished his career as an instructor at the War College in Newport, RI. Retired home in Washington County before he died of complications resulting from a stroke. He was a good man, loved his children, grandchildren, and his country.
