His books changed my life to care about dreams and the space around
each thought and action to re-action. Thank this man for writing for all
minds to live as a spark with more caring thoughts for others and self.
Blessings galore -rc

Dear Dr. Bachrach ...I'm so saddened by your loss and there certainly can never be an equal in my eyes. (or knees) You kept many of us being able to maintain our physical careers and I don't know what I'll do now that you're gone.

You were an amazing doctor and thoughtful caregiver and while I will miss you... I know your time here was well spent and your absence will be felt by many.

Rest in peace.

Karen says it best, of course. Richard was really a down to earth good guy. I am sorry that we hadn't been introduced sooner. He was wonderful to Elizabeth, and your hospitality when we were in town was great. We will miss him, but plan on visiting you, Leslie in the BIG APPLE soon. Keep well.

Richard was an amazing doctor, and a true mensch. I cannot thank him (and Leslie) enough for taking such good care of our daughter Elizabeth. I will never forget him. Leslie, you are a wonderful person and I am happy to call you "friend". My deepest sympathies.

How we danced because he kept us jumping, twirling and flying. The dance world has Richard to thank for scores and scores of wonderful dance moments and we as dancers send love and have great memories of a great guy!

Richard helped to ease the pain of all those in his care, enabling them to lead a fuller life. Fighting pain himself, he was his own best ambassador, strengthened by the love of Leslie. A truly great man whose memory will endure. With ever grateful thanks,
