As most of you know, Richard has been feeling bad lately. He has gone to Cleveland to seek diagnosis and treatment. The doctors are trying to stabilize and diagnose him but he is critical at this time. The family asks for your thoughts and, most importantly, your prayers for Richard.

Although the family truly appreciates the concern shown by so many of his friends and business associates, they are somewhat overwhelmed trying to get back to everyone. His son, Rob, is with him and will update Tim Waechter when necessary and Tim will post it publicly.

Thanks for your consideration of the family’s privacy during this trying time.

Came to Indiana for the first time 20 years ago. One of the first people we me was Richard. He welcomed us and was steadfast in making us feel like we were at home. Such a great person and friend. No visit to Indiana is complete without speaking to him. Prayers are sent and hopes that we meet up again soon.
