There is a section on Page 5 that talks about Richard disappearing while walking his two dogs near his home. It talks about Richard's many contributions to the town, and that he was one of the founders and managers of the modern Transit Station. In a town meeting they voted to name the road to the Transit Station "Drury Lane" in his honor. They held a memorial for Richard and unveiled a plaque dedicated to him. There was a link for donations to this plaque. I won't post it (against rules) but share the photo of the plaque.
