Hello, my name is Richard and I'm a writer and I also work with pastoral care of persons with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia in Western Pennsylvania. I also help older persons remember and record their life stories, so helping them to leave a legacy for succeeding generations.

As a retired minister, I hope that the books I have written provide the reader with some understanding of how life's events affect older adults and the importance of caring to their spiritual needs as well as their physical needs. You will note that recurring theme throughout my books that aging is a spiritual journey.
