Come on buddy, answer your phone. I pray this isn’t him as Richard was a stand up guy and one hell of an engineer.  Attached File Attached File Obituary |

Ok I have to share some things about Richard. He loved that ford bronco and I helped him get the original Richard’s logo as they are related to me. Here is a note he sent me on his bronco: There is a report called The Marti Report that has all of the historical data on old Fords. You pay them $75 and they send you the build date, factory specs, options and the end dealer. Here is some pictures from the Marti report showing Richard’s Ford Baton Rouge as the selling dealer. My Bronco was built on May 7, 1977 and sold by Richard’s Ford on 7/7/77 and it is a 77 Bronco. All the numbers fall into place. Thanks again.

He was a mechanical engineer for Exxon for decades prior to his plant being purchased by PBF Energy. I was fortunate enough to have worked with Richard on may projects especially revolving around turnarounds. There are few in the industry that I would say are in the same company as he was when it came to rotating equipment. I still remember the first time he was in Ohio for a cold eye review for one of our turnarounds and he couldn’t believe how COLD it was here!!! It was upper 40’s  |
