A mutual friend of Richard´s and mine apprised me of Richard´s death only this morning, a year after his passing. Richard and I met through mutual friends in the 80´s. I share, in thinking back over 40 years of friendship, so many of the same recollections so many of you have enumerated in your odes to him, namely Richard´s gentle, thoughtful, generous, loyal nature. He was a deeply loving humanist.

The Met gave Richard a deep and abiding love, for all the cultural and artistic exposure that infused his days. He found his greatest love within those walls, and indeed himself

I heard when we last met about the myriad friendships he garnered working there, as well as his passionate engagement with the countless opportunities to learn, both from you his colleagues and the experts he met in the course of feeding his ever inquisitive nature. God Bless you Richard
