My Dear Friend and the father of my two daughters, Richard Harding died in Oregon, at the young age of 59 on July 20, 2006 after a brief illness.
Rich and I were together for four years after high school and married in 1967. During the time of our marriage we had two lovely daughters. Unfortunately, we divorced after nine years. We both remarried, mine did not last but Rich was still married to a really nice lady named Susan.
Rich had just recently closed his construction business due to ill health and was doing his best to adjust to retirement. He really loved Oregon, he had his land there, along with his animals and enjoyed the peace and quiet.
He had one step son also and a total of six grandchildren. Both his daughters, from Montana and California and his grandchildren were able to see him before he passed which I know meant a lot to him.
Rich will always have a very special place in my heart.
