My Original Condolence:
Thoughts from Judith Anne Heagney-O'Hara
Sun Oct 18 08:49:19 2009 I listen to With Heart and Voice each week, a truly regular fan... What a great loss! I was grateful enough to meet Richard Gladwell when he visited my Parish, St. Anne's Church at a time I was there and he also made a point to make conversation with me at the Post Office one day, such a truly nice person! He will be sadly missed by many. With Sympathy and Prayer, )udy Heagney-O'Hara

So sorry to hear your sad news.
Maria. England

How I loved the music he chose to share with us all! When I lived in New Mexico -- his program was an oasis of culture among the tumbleweeds. On behalf of my family, I send our prayers
and thanksgiving for the gifts he shared for so long.

I was a listener of Richard's program for several years on Sunday nights on Maine Public Radio and was saddened to hear of his recent death. In that sadness, though, I give thanks for the gift of the music he shared with all of us. Though he has gone on before us, I hope to hear and enjoy his voice and the music he loved for years to come.

Will greatly miss hearing his voice on my radio every Sunday morning. I have been a loyal listener for nearly 10 years.

I have listened to his broadcasts here in Richmond, VA for nearly 8 years. Incredible music, and the background he provided was very helpful to me. Short intros, but very insightful. I never met him, though I wish I could have, but he opened my mind to some of the most beautiful music I have ever heard. He will be sorely missed. What a wonderful human being he must have been. May he rest in God's presence forever, and be eternally serenaded by the inspiring and soul-shaking music he shared...

I can only echo the many heartfelt comments about the wonderful Richard Gladwell. He opened up the world of choral music for me, and I shall dearly miss him. My condolences to his family

I love "With Heart & Voice". Choral and organ music, especially from the Renaissance & Baroque Eras, are my favorite. I thought of Richard as my fellow organ geek. I didn't know him personally but I e-mailed him a few times with questions about music I liked from his program. I felt like I knew him. He had a mellifluous voice, too. And even though I have no English blood in me, I am an Anglophile so that gave Richard more points in my book. I will miss him. "Ta evah so" for everything,...
