Richard was preceded in death by his father, William Antonius and mother, Carolyn Antonius Smith.

Richard fought his courageous battle without a single complaint. God knew when He was ready to take him to his heavenly home. Tho' we are never quite ready to say goodbye, we know in our hearts our precious Lord will guide us thru' the days ahead and our loved one is finally at peace and without pain.

He leaves behind many friends and loved ones who will one day soon turn these heartbreaking moments into happy memories. He had a special love for his motorcycle riding buddies who traveled many miles with him and returned home with so many fun stories. Then there were the fishing and lunch buddies with so many memories to cherish.
