He will be missed, he was a great guy.
By the way,
The Headline shoud have read:
"Magistrate Richard Stokes has died".
It just shows more respect than "is dead".

I hate to nitpick, but think about it.

Dead was hard for me as Richard's sister to see but it made it real and final.I guess Jeff's remark is the truth. He won't be coming back and I will miss my brother dearly. I want to thank everyone for these notes.

Richard touched the lives of so many people. He had a way of making an impact - making a difference in the lives of others. He will be very sorely missed by all who knew and loved him. May God be with Cathy, as she will most certainly be feeling the awful pain of his departure. Rest in peace, Richard. Those of us who knew you have no doubt whatsoever of where you are spending eternity.

Sad, sad, sad news.......
