I knew Richard when we both lived at the same condo complex in Fort Lauderdale. I remember him as an interesting, involved person and a valued friend to many. I am sorry to hear of his passing but pleased to know his final years, reflective of his life, were spent surrounded by friends and family. The written tribute was beautiful.
