The Richardson family was one of two close families growing up in San Diego.  Dee was apparently my first girlfriend (when I drove a green machine), Kelly one of if not my first best friend and Micki / Ray one of my bonus parents.  Too many Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter and birthdays together to recount.  Always enjoyed my Celtic / Laker, Bird / Magic debates with Ray, even when I had to pay out friendly bets when the Celtics lost. Ray was a great person, a loyal patriot who served his country with distinction, solid as a rock and a lifelong friend I will miss. May you rest in peace Ray.
