RICHARDS--Martin. The Mary Lea Johnson Richards Organ Transplantation Center at New York University Langone Medical Center mourns the passing of our beloved benefactor Marty Richards. A larger than life show business impresario whose love for Mary Lea was legendary, Marty was above all a kind and giving soul who was a constant source of comfort, help and support for any and all who were ever in need. We will miss him greatly. Lewis Teperman MD, Director of Transplantation, Hillel Tobias MD, Medical Director

Southampton memories of being the college "help" and your kindness! I met so many famous NYers, Gloria Vanderbilt, Rex Reed, and Stephen Sondheim at your incredible parties with MaryLea.

It was a privilege to meet you at the Gala NYU gave in your honor. You were so kind to me that day. You would think a person like yourself, so worldly, would be very sure of himself. You were so sweet, and nervous to meet and greet all those people coming in to be there because of you. You asked me to stay at your side. Thank you for your kindness to me and all those others you helped on your way in life. God Bless You Always.
