Richard was one of just a few to whom the words "bigger than life" can be applied. In body, mind, and spirit he was one of the best. His Christmas greeting cards were things to be treasured and reflected well his sense of grace.
A hale fellow well met, indeed.

Our collage class lost a good one in Rich. My loss is that I didn't maintain contact with him after Freshman year. I remember his geniality and his delightful goofiness.

I had the pleasure of working closely with Richard on two wonderful but very differnt developments, the American Center for Physics and Hamilton Square. I will never forget his significant and diverse talents and his genial sense of humor. Richard was a true renaissaance man. He has left both a legacy in the built environment and a place in the hearts of his friends and associates.
