Richard was my student in a computer class he took through TC3 in upstate NY -- I am so sorry to hear of his death. He was a lovely man, interesting and interested and memorable. Jean, you may remember that you and Richard invited my husband and me to see your home on Tompkins Street in Cortland one day. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time. Richard will be remembered always.
