I will always  remember a gentle soul who  gave great hugs, loved teaching history, loved his family, and loved  his  Texans, Astros, Rockets .  I am saddened to hear of his passing.  I shall always remember his friendship.

I will truely miss him and offer my deepest condolences to his family. Only God knows when our work is finised and then he is ready for us to be with him forever and ever.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.  There is light at the end of a tunnel.  Look to the hill whence cometh your help.  Your help come from God.   I will always remember Mr. Harris.  He was a good person and friend.

     I just received the news of Richard's death yesterday and want to offer my most sincere condolences.  I first met Richard in 1988 when I became Principat at Kay Ongoing Education Center in Houston ISD.  Richard was my valuable assistant in his role as teacher and Part-Time Principal until I retired in August, 1993.  Like so many others who respected and admired him, I am deeply grieved and bewildered to learn of his passing.  I hope his family, many co-workers and friends can find some small comfort in precious memories of the happy years he shared with all of us.

I was so sorry to hear of your loss.  The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow.

In loving memory of a dedicated teacher and loyal friend.  I was truly blessed to have Richard on my faculty at Kay and Barbara Jordan.  Because of his loyalty, eagerness to assist, and our professional relationship, my heart is filled with many wonderful memories.  May he rest in peace!
