I'm so sorry to see this about Richard. He was a student in my yoga class and the class asked me to check in and see if he was OK. I just called and saw he number was disconnected and feared the worst. Everyone liked him and enjoyed his company. He was a real gamer and I am so glad to have known him. We're sorry for your loss but know he must have been a wonderful person to have in the family.
