Read MoreIm so sorry to hear of his passing. I met Richie at the Dick Grove Institute in the late 70s. I took so many of his courses and learned so much from him. My interest in percussion was all because of him. Im so blessed to have been in his life for even a short time. Rest in percussion dear Richie.

Richie was the best percussion teacher in this area. I learned so much from him as a student and also doing gigs with him. His health problems the last few years caused him to cut back on his playing but the last gig I did with him in Oct '02 - he played great !! Miss you Richie.
