Richard graduated from Adirondack High School, in 1987, entered the US Army, worked construction and then moved on to become an Iron Worker; even on earth, he knew no limits and soared with the angels. He was a part of building many building and bridges throughout New York and beyond. (See that?? I built that! See that?? I worked on that!!)
He is leaving behind many loved ones, and for some, he gave a unique name to them; (his way of showing love) Eazy E, Mondo, Tamie, Aunt, Freak-a-zoid, Little Guy, Dweeb, Koda, Rabbit, Matty, Chicklet, Lyn, The Girl, Jordan, Danika, Cheryl, Tom and his work “brothers.”
The Iron Workers Prayer
Monuments built by human hands;
Bridges, towers, and buildings, too
By men who work for me and you.
Men with strong and callused hands
Who toil all day upon our lands.
They work in weather dark and dreary;
When day is done they come home weary.
They work in the hottest heat of day
And earn every bit of their weekly pay.
They work in mud, sleet and snow
And go where others dare not go.
They work along and with each other
And that is why they’re called “Brother.”
They climb where angels fear to tread
They never look down in fear or dread.
So, don’t wait till the bye and bye
To say a prayer to the one on high
For men on whom we all rely,
Bless the Ironworker in the sky. ~Unknown
