Richard was recognized today along with nine other Collier County residents who died in service to their country.
In a news release written by his family after his death, Burress was described as easygoing with a natural warmth.
“When asked by friends why he decided to join the Army, Richard said it was to add focus and direction to his life and to serve his country,” his family said. “Richard was a reluctant hero. He didn’t want to be recognized for his service and was deeply touched by the many thanks he received from strangers.”
We love Richard and miss him so much!!
