To the family- Richard Stokes was a very fine man. I met him 19 years ago when I moved to Charleston and we had some very good times together. We made many memories and we made each other laugh. I will always love and remember Rick Stokes and hopefully meet with him on the other side.

I owe a lot of my success in life today because of Rick Stokes. When I was just 28 yrs old he gave me the opportunity to come and work at Detyens Shipyards which was a turning point in my life for myself and my family. He has always been an inspiration to me and I will miss him tremendously. May god bless him and his family in these hard times.
