Richard, I'm so saddened by this... I had no idea. When the email I sent bounced back I tried your personal email address... when it bounced as well I had a moment of concern. When my internet search brought this site back I was floored. You were a kind man. A patient man. I enjoyed the time we worked together and am sorry that the world lost such a good person. My condolences for your family and friends. If there can be a silver lining it's that you're in a better place with people you missed dearly when you were with us.

Richard, you were an enthusiastic fund-raising partner and a pleasure to work with. Natalie, can't even imagine your grief at losing such a pillar of strength.

Heart felt sorrow for your loss of this very kind and generous man. I guess he needed to be with his children that went home.

I am so sad to hear this news today. What a wonderful man and father who gave so much to others. I was honored to know him.
