I think of you every day and have your picture in every room of my house. Your sense of humor and intelligence made every day an adventure and I miss you very much.

You remain very much a part of me.
You are alive as long as those who knew you and loved you are alive, although I wish you were in my sight.

Richard Israel,my loving companion, was the one I came home to. You were the one who laughed and cried with me about life's travails. You were the one I traveled with to all sorts of exotic places and who introduced me to the world. You were the one I was so proud to call my partner, lover and friend.
As any respectable American, I was attracted to your beautiful accent. Then I heard you speak professionally and observed the profound effect you had on others. You were always happiest when you were speaking and changed people's lives with your books -17 in all and translated into 20 languages. The one translation, of which you were most proud, was the Arabic translation of Brain Sell. He laughed when he thought of the book by Richard Israel sold in Saudi Arabia.
His love and for his children, Lana and Susi was palpable and his absolute joy when his grandchildren, Raif and Lane were born was unlimited.
My Richard had a well developed sense of humor and was the life of the party in social settings. All who knew him could relate their unique unforgettable
relationships.
Let us celebrate him as much as we mourn his passing. He was extremely intelligent, warm caring and funny. He was spiritually wealthy and his legacy will live on with his children and grandchildren and all who remember him with great love.
I, for one, love you Richard and will miss you always.

Rich and I were friends for 30 years. We both had the same type of humor and were both interested in both improving mankind and making money doing it. He will always be a part of many great memories.

Goodby old friend. I will miss our long conversations, your warmth, Your humor and your wit. I will especially miss our regular chess games. You were a one of a kind and your absence is already deeply felt!

Richard made a big difference to my life. He transformed my career and helped me not only set up my business but also to write a book together Your Mind at Work. We drafted the book in 5 days at his Florida apartment, with some swimming and meandering locally too. I learnt a lot from him. And he made me and my sons laugh, inevitably, when he visited London. He will be missed. Helen Whitten, London, UK
