I adored Richard Nachtigall. He was bright passionate gentle consistent kind sharp and so much more. I miss him every day. We spoke about Paris, his favorite city to visit. He would tell me each time about his trips with his wife Laila whom he adored. He was a rock, an anchor in my life and surely was for all who knew him.
