Richard Jon Agee

Richard was a great guy. I loved his wide ranging of knowledge in so many areas. We especially shared our love of music especially the operas of Verdi. We both loved the movies of Hitchcock. As well as so many other films. It was a joy to know him. I adopted his beloved Maine Coon Cat named Casey. He is a great companion for me! My sympathies to the entire family. Sincerely, Steve

I knew Richard since 1984. Richard was my intellectual friend. A great cook, a person to travel with. I learned opera, became a foodie with him. Finally he will rest in peace. Your only friend, George

On behalf of Stephen Scott and myself, thank you, Richard, for...
