Richard was an angle of a man. His sweet and easy disposition made him a joy to be around. I will always see him sitting cross legged in a chair with a coffee or drink in his hand, but only after a productive day of chores and work. He was focused but liked to socialize. I remember the 70s when he had parties. We had so much fun. He is a hard one to say goodbye to, he was still so happy and content with his life. My sympathies to Gwen and his family. I still think of him when I hear the song Knock on Wood or the band Procol Harum.
Rest in Peace Richard. I'm so glad I
knew you.
