Not sure what to say?

I am sorry to see that Dick has passed away. I haven't seen him since 1969 when he stopped by in Phoenix, on his wayu to the grand canyon. We were room mates in the Air Force, and later made two motor-scooter trips from Phoenix, then Iowa, to Mexico. In between those journeys, we worked together at a Phoenix hospital, and I can still hear and see him singing Madrigals with the head nurse and a neurosurgeon in the nurses' station of the Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix. I spoke...

Whether chatting in the neighborhood or foraging for ramps on the woods, Richard was a source of knowledge and entertainment. We shared many interests. Allentown will be missing him.

I was incredibly sad when I learned of his passing. I was so happy to be part of his extended family! His love of the arts was inspiring. His wine and jelly were amazing, along with his beer he brought to a family reunions. He was ever so thoughtful in choosing Christmas gifts for my daughter. Claytons toy store became one of our favorites. He was a well traveled and talented man! Rest in peace Rich.

Richard I am so glad to have met you through signing together with the Friends of Harmony Barbershop chorus for Holiday and Irish music. I also am shocked and saddened and will miss your strong voice and sense of humor. We just started getting to know you, and I am so inspired by your passion, enthusiasm are genuine character that has defied age. Our community is better for having you here these decades.

I am shocked to learn of Richard's passing. I only just met him this year, when he joined the Friends of Harmony Barbershop chorus, but he seemed like an interesting fellow. I had wondered why he didn't attend the last couple of rehearsals, and more than once I thought of giving him a call to find out if he was okay. RIP Richard-- I wish we had gotten a chance to know you better.

My deepest condolences to his family and his many friends. I had the honor of working alongside Richard at Roswell and he was one of the nicest, most kind hearted and interesting people I've ever known. He will be missed and I'll always remember him fondly. Rest in peace...

RIP
