Richard will be truly missed, he was a very nice person. My heart feels for his whole family, you never really meet someone that can always cheer you up and make you laugh. I remember going to school with Richard or just talking to him when he lived on Dunnington Road.
The Findley family are in my thoughts and prayers.

I extend my deepest sympathy to the family and the members of the fire department at the loss of officer Findley.
My deepest thoughts and prayers go out to the family of Corporal Richard Findley and the members of station 31. I had the pleasure of meeting him within my 3 years of volunteer life in PG county and maybe twice on the street him pullin me over......lol... but I thank GOD for th good times we shared, for his physical apperance will be greatly missed but his soul shall live for ever within our hearts. Rest In Peace Corporal Richard "Rich" Findley, for i know GOD will bless u with wings to keep doing ur heavenly duties.
He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.
Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.
The Officers and Members of the Burtonsville Volunteer Fire Department wish to express our condolences to the family of Corporal Findley. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Findley family and friends, the Prince Georges County Police Department and the members of the Beltsville Volunteer Fire Department.

To the friends, family and to Kelly and the kids, of Corporal Richard Findley my thoughts prayers with you and family and today truly sad because lost a hero among us.

This is one hell of a loss for us all. I will look into bring an Engine down from Baltimore.
God bless you Corporal Richard Findley
