Richi Shinn

This is Richi's daughter. I am trying to learn more about my dad and his past. I would also love to meet any family on his side because I only knew of him. If anyone still looks at this guest book please email me.

Thanks in advance. And thank you for sharing all of your fond memories of my dad.

Got to know Richi from an online community back in 2002. Ever since then, rumors were flying around about his health but he seem to be a tough one and always comes back when you least expected. According to Richi in his own words. "I have my method in my maddest." He taught me a great deal of things and calls me even I'm physically in Hong Kong. He was like a father to me and I call him "Pa"... RIP Pa, your maddest with always live among us.

I'm so sorry to hear that my friend passed away.

Got to know Richi from the spam mail operation I ran back in 2002 which lured him to my board, cajoled him into becoming the mod thereof. One thing led to another, pretty soon we became best of pals. I will always cherish and remember the valueable time spent with him over Internet. Until that day we meet again, Senior Chief.

I first met Richi in the mid 60's in a different and difficult time in his life. We spent many hours together during our high school years. Some of them happy , some sad. I went through plenty of "my first times" with him and enjoyed every damn one of them. I will always remember our "garage band", us pretending to be as good as the beatles and stones....the times we spent pulling tobacco together, smoking out back, the christmases in the big L with Pop and Uncle Max. Richi was the closet...

I met first Richi via a mutual friend (Todd McCoy) back in 1986(?) through our mutual interest with computers. We were also involved and active with various local BBS's for many years. Whether it was contact made simply via BBS or email correspondence over the years, or being around Richi in person at BBS parties, visits at Bunny's, or visits at Doc's in Goochland... my wife and I both found Richi to always be a very kind, generous, knowledgeable, interesting, and witty person. We're both...

There will be a memorial service for Richi at Huguenot Park, Shelter One, in Richmond VA on April 19th at 1:30. All are welcome, please join us in celebrating Richi's life.

Richi was one of a kind. As we all know he had a great mind, full of technological wizardry.

I had the pleasure of getting to know him while he was a consultant at Datatrace.

Richi, God Bless
