My First Memory Of Richard Was When He Stopped By My Sale And He Had A Wide Screen Television In His Van. He Told Me He Wasn't Sure If It Worked Or Not. That Was The Beginning Of A Friendship That Has Been For Five Years Or More.
Yes Richard Was A Dumpster Diver. Ashamed Of His Hobby? Not A Chance! Richard Had Told Me Many Stories Of His Days In The Chicago Area Dumpsters. I Won't Elaborate On The Goods He Retrieved From These Dumpsters But I Will Assure You Many Items Were New With Price Tags Still Attached.
The Past Few Months Were Especially Hard For Richard. With The Midwest Heat We Have Been Expierencing The Past Couple Of Weeks Took A Toll On My Friend Richard. He Was Having Breathing Problems And Had To Be On Oxegen Most Part Of His Days.
Richard Was 68 Years Old. He Never Called Me By My Name. He Always Referred To Me As Junior.
Richard Was Addicted To The Numbers Of The Illinois State Lottery. He Played Every Combination You Could Ever Imagine. I always Considered It A Sickness To Be That Wrapped Up In Gambling. Ofcourse I Never Shared My Opinion Of This Because It Was His Money And His Business.
He Hustled The Dumpsters And Peddled His Goods To His Regular Clientel. He Enjoyed Life As He Knew It. Ofcourse His Life Was Much Different Than Ours, But Isn't That Why God Had Made Us All Different? I was Never One To Look Down On Another Human Being Because I Have Been In Many Different Situations Throughout My Lifetime I learned Never To Pass Judgement On Another.
Richard Was Just A Simple Person And Never Pretended To Be Someone He Was Not. Either You Accepted Him For Who He Was Or You Didn't.
So Here's To You Richard, May You Rest In Peace! I Will Never Forget The Laughs We Shared And The Lessons I Learned From You. RIP....
