Hey Griff I never thought id be on a.cell phone with tears running down my face telling you goodbye. I remember the good times we had taking Bobs 55 chevy and cruisin then trying to get it back before he got off work you'd hitchhike to town and we would raid the fridge and mess with my older brothers stuff and listen to his stereo while he was in viet man. He came home safely l wish you could have.God took one of the best when He chose to take you home.Hope we meet again Goodbye my friend my God watch over you

Together in God.
Richard I didn't know you even though I was born in Ely and raised in Eureka. Your little sister Nancy was brutally murdered 11 years after your death, by the coward Rober Ybarra that the state of Nevada still coddles today. You and Nancy feel no pain now because you are together in God, and Nancy is now escorted by a member of America's best. Rest peacefully Richard and Nancy, God Bless You. Rich Edera USN/ACU1

Semper Fi Griff!
A tough kid from Ely Nevada with a chip on his shoulder no one could knock off. A good friend a good Marine, and a hero. May God bless his wife and daughter. Let us never forget him or our brothers who died in what President Reagan reminded us was a noble cause. May Vietnam be free some day, and the shameless cowards who stabbed us in the back and abandoned the Vietnamese people get what they deserve in Hell!
