We first met Richard in January 2014. Salty Boats was going to build the fishing boat of our dreams - 18 foot Stumpnocker! Richard was a very special person. He kept us up -to-date with each step of the process. When we went down to see the work in progress and take pics a few times, Richard always made us feel like Family, and like we were the only people who mattered. I just loved Richard and John loved talking with him. He was funny; he was caring. In August, when we went to test drive our new boat to take home, Richard was there to join us in our celebration. He holds a special place in our hearts and always will. Richard & Donald invited us to the dealer event in 2016. We went and had a blast! He wanted us to stay so we could go fishing/crabbing the next day. I sure wish we had. In our hearts, Richard, Donald, & Paul are extended members of our family. God has blessed us with these very special friendships. Richard will truly be missed. Donald, Paul, Carol, & Family: our thoughts and prayers are with you all. We love you.
