I didn´t know him personally, but I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Richard a couple weeks before his passing. His son Tony was my coach at CBC back in Highschool several years ago. I saw Tony on a visit to see his dad Richard. I work in the rehabilitation hospital he was admitted to. I sat and spoke with both of them for a while. He was a nice man that missed his wife Liz that I also had a pleasure to meet. We connected by speaking about Liz and CBC. His time on earth will definitely be remembered by the people his spirit touched in his lifetime. Now, he is free of pain and reunited with his wife Liz. Sending my condolences to Tony and the rest of his family Blessings!
