Words cannot express how saddening it is to learn of the loss Richard. It was a privilege to work with him. He warmly welcomed me to the IBM team less than a year ago and never hesitated to help or answer questions I had. Richard was an incredibly smart and thoughtful person. Sending healing prayers and comfort during this tough time.
