Richard, It's now years later, and I need you more than ever to talk Science Fiction. I think you would be very pleased with what I've learned and what I'm doing with it. Linda Oxley Milligan

There was only one Richard! I will miss him very much. The emails I have recieved over the years about "stuff" have been entertaining and concerning. I will remember the long discussions and great laughts we have had about all the "why's". And Thanks Richard for my own copy of "Ramona the Pest" book.

The last time I saw Richard, he came to the hospital for a doctors appointment and I laughted all day thinking about his take on the Medical Center and trying to get to his appointment. It still brings a smile to my face.

Sincerly, Ramona

Richard, I had to go to Delaware to get the ashes. You are in Libby's room. Give me a sign. I'm not using the bookends. :)

All my love,

Karen

I keep thinking you got a big surprise when you found out that in spirit you are still with us. And after all Richard, it was your spirit which made you so special and so loved (certainly not your James Dean looks!) You were always the mischievous little boy with a heart of gold. Sometimes you were even ornery but never mean; rather, I would say you were insightful and funny and so modest that you tempered your kind nature with wit because you didn't want to be too showy. You knew too well that hypocrisy often lurks behind too much display. You made us laugh. You made us see. And now your loss has made us cry. I will miss you.
