Sending LOVE to Jennifer & Zachery. So very sorry for your loss . <3 Mother of Bob Ickes-Judith Ann Oddo

Love to you & Zachary with great sadness for the loss of Richard. I will always remember the fun dinner at your apt in NYC with my son--Bob Ickes. Judith Ann Ickes, [email protected] PS: Bob passed away Jan 9th, 2022

With deepest sympathy to Jennifer & Zachery. I am the mother of Bob Ickes--we met years ago. Had a lovely meal in your apt. Bob had an especially great love for Zachery - in his younger years. So sad to say Bob recently passed away--Jan 9th 2022. My heart is broken. Judy Oddo

I´m so sad about this! Richard was a good family friend for many years. There was literally NEVER a dull moment around this amazing man! His quick and razor sharp wit, his creative and inclusive humor, his kindness and generosity...he always has been and always will be an inspiration to me. My heart sinks for Jennifer and Zach. So much love to you all! Long live Richard David Story!

Richard was an unbelievable human being, full of joy, witty, smart and charismatic. He gave me my first 2 pages editorial in Departures putting my brand in front of the most discerning individuals. I always reached out to him for guidance and he always delivered. I will miss his mischievous smile and his sense of humor.

He was a fantastic person, he gave me a break at Departures giving me the opportunity to write a few articles. But most of all, he encouraged me to workshop a book I was working on, soon to be released. I remember a cold day in Harlem when Richard, Jennifer, and I took a walking tour. He wanted to know everything. Truly a great day in Harlem.
