Black tea, and an unwavering resolve to eschew the rat race. One in a million. My sincere condolences.

Richard and I first met at Taymen, he mistook me for Joe. He said something rude and I thought who is this guy. After the initial shock, from both of us, we laughed and became very good friends. I'll miss you Rich.

Richard was a dear, dear friend of mine (apx 25 years). I will miss our conversations and your notable sarcasm. Movie watching will not be the same. Rest in peace Richard. With all my love. Toni

Richie Hauber was a great friend growing up in Winfield Kansas. So many great memories. I was the life guard at our little country club. I wore a whistle around my neck to blow when rules were not being followed. When Rich and his younger brothers appeared for an afternoon of swimming my whistle almost lost its "whistle". RIP my friend
