“Richard was such an innovative educator. He loved helping students, and our robotic coaches learn about coding and took great pride in what they were able to accomplish. Without him our Cleveland County Robotics Program would not be what it is today. His expertise, patience and willingness to teach others allowed us to build a program that continues to inspire students all across our county. Thank you for your commitment to our students and faculty. You will be greatly missed! Anita Ware”
