I was just thinking of Richard yesterday....some very fond memories just popped up for no real reason. We cross paths with many wonderful people in our lives and some are more special than others. Richard was in the latter group for me professionally and personally. While at Van Ness Feldman he represented my employer, Honda, at my recommendation as outside Counsel in a very serious environmental enforcement action. I always felt is a true tribute to him to be complemented to me privately by Japanese Executives both here and in Japan for what a genuine professional he was and the good advice and expert counsel he gave to the company.....they give out those sincere complements on very rare occasions. He was a wonderful communicator and exuded such honesty and character. I will always hold a special place in my heart for Mr. Kozlowski....he was a very good and dear friend and I miss him very much.

Rich was a wonderful man, and we enjoyed singing in the choir with him for over 20 years. We were missing him already when he stopped singing with us. God bless all the family. Sincerely, Kathy Hinkle

Rich was an inspiring mentor and effective leader. He shaped my professional values and personal aspirations. He was a voice of reason and public service that today's lawyers entrusted with protection of our resources should emulate. May his memory be a source of blessing.
