Nearly a year and a half since we said goodbye, my old friend, my coach, my mentor. For 33 years we tread the boards together, and never knew a more joyous time. Your mastery, your kindness and your friendship remain cherished. You never could be replaced, and your memory will never fade. I miss you, Richard.

I am so sorry to be so late and knowing about the death of my dear friend Richard Shelton. We were both and arts conventions together over the years. He was such a sweet funny wonderful English gentleman. And even though I haven't seen him in a while I am so sorry to hear about his death

Although I only worked with Mr. Sheldon and Opera A La Carte for a short time around 1975, it remains a fond and indelible memory. Thanks to Richard and condolences to his family and all who knew him.

I played in Opera A La Carte's orchestra for several years in the 1980s. I loved Richard's sense of humor, which ranged from dry and witty to downright bawdy.
So I'm sad to see this obit, but I say, "Thank you, Richard, for some great years! It was great knowing you."

I worked with him many years ago in L.A. & became friends here in New York City with 2 instrumentalists who played for Richard's troupe. Very sad to hear of his passing.
