Richard's Co-Worker

I worked with Richard at the Bill Doran company. Went to customers open houses with him an his wife. I remember him telling a story about how he was stuck on his roof because the ladder fell over. And he didn't have his cell phone. Was up there for quite a while. It was funny for sure. Rest in paradise always 🙏
