Miss you my friend, I think of you often, you will forever be in my heart.

Miss you my friend you will forever be in my heart ❤

A gentle soft-spoken man who was larger than life, I miss our hour-long phone conversations. Whenever, I came to Cleveland it was Celebrezze business first followed by lunch. Richard you will forever be in my heart, I miss you, my friend.

Dick loved 2D art but built glass houses. I asked where can people hang their art and he just laughed. He loved my dollhouses and designed an almost windowless addition for them. Every time I enter my addition I think fondly of Dick.

Richard lives on strongly in my memory as a creative giant who loved ideas. His love of life, spontaneity of enthusiasm, and celebration of the power of ideas inspire me to this day.

SOSJ Knight of Honor!

Great man ...always the gentleman! RIP!

Richard a man who was larger than life himself. He will forever be in my heart, our office meetings, phone conversations, lunch and dinner outings seems like yesterday. I hear his voice often when I think about him, wishing he was here, I truly miss seeing my friend Richard.

Richard lit up the space he occupied with energy and ideas. I miss this sorely, and find it difficult to replace. That said, what persists in my memory of Richard´s life continues to energize and inspire!
