Missing you my dear friend . See you soon

See you soon our Brother

Rick was definitely one of a kind. He had such a kind heart and hilarious sense of humor. Such a deep thinker and creative mind. Rest in peace Ricky. You'll wake up soon.

I am so appreciative of my time getting to know Richard at Moxie. Our weekly calls will be far less entertaining with his witty remarks, updates and stories. I always enjoyed when he shared. He was such an incredibly talented and unique person, and the world is missing out on so much with his passing. His family is in my thoughts during this time.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends. I remember when Rick and Allison met first and later got married he was so Happy, and for Rick Morgan That was his peace.May Jehovah keep your family closer and comfort you during your time of loss

There is so much I could say about Richard, so many words that wouldn't quite fit around him. Even the "right" adjectives (weird, whimsical, creative, caring, kind, thoughtful, quirky, hilarious) feel muted when made to describe him. He was all of those and more; he was the expanded definition of everything I thought I knew about creative types, being one of them myself. He'd shock us with his stories of being trapped in a time loop in a cafe, startling us with his deep, narrator-like voice,...

The world is now a bit less interesting a bit less unique a bit less talented a bit less witty... a bit less creative. and a whole lot less entertaining without Richard in it. I’ll certainly miss his sometimes thought provoking and other times downright hysterical wordsmithing. It was a privilege and honor to have worked with Richard and experience his brilliance first hand. Rest in peace Richard.
