What can I say... Richard was a fun-loving fellow; he loved to tease. Actually, he would tell me jokes and wait for my reaction where I usually turned red.
We were in his and Helene´s theater group for many years but I´ve known him for over 40 years based on his and Helene´s connection to my sister, Hermene, and brother-in-law, Al. He brought laughter to the table while we dined after the theatre. My husband found him to be interesting, too. His gregarious personality will surely be missed.
