Jan,



During our short time working together, I gained a firm respect for Richard and the sophistication that he brought to an otherwise drab work environment. He was always fun and interesting to talk with. I miss our conversations and the funny emails he used to send my way. He will be missed dearly. Many thanks to you for allowing him to touch our lives.
