I am late to offer my condolences here. I was gutted to hear of his death, when we'd chatted only a few weeks before, resurrecting our old characters, Sophie and Sadie... He was a true original, always finding ways to make himself heard and seen. So glad I got to see him Thanksgiving, 2018.

You were one of a kind Dickie! Atlanta music scene would never be the same; you started so many trends at the in town music clubs! Rest in Angst because you wouldn’t have it any other way!

To the Bicknell Family;
l was sadden to read of Richard’s departure . I have many fond memories of great times with him, Mary Beth and Kevin; as students of Theatre-Speech at CSU.

Richard was a talented man and a fine singer. My deepest condolences to his family.

Richard’s large sweet soul barely fit into his narrow body! I met him at Eddie’s Attic when I opened for Eric Taylor one night. He was so enthusiastic and open. He was a delightful musician who included me in one of his later gigs! He called me “Brooke” as he felt it suited me! I benefitted from having known him! Singing with him was a comfort zone!
