I'm sorry to learn about this loss. The times I spent with Richard on stage were some of the best times I ever had acting. He was a wonderful actor, a complex man who channeled his emotions into his characters and performances. It was the best kind of challenge to try to match him or even keep up with him on stage. He elevated any production he was in and I will always have good memories of many electric moments performing with him.
sending my condolonces to his mother Beckie.

I was sorry to find this , and I send love to Beckie. I do have such fond memories of Rich and his exuberance for life. I'm glad he got to do so much acting. He loved it. I hoped that we'd meet up again one day. I still have letters he sent when he went away on family vacation. He said his favorite thing about my house was that the cookie jar was always full. He made us all laugh...and cry ...and laugh again. We had some times. You'll be missed, Rich.
