Settle Family-we are so sorry tho hear aout this. We had the pleasure of meeting and working with Richard at the VA Medical Center. Richard was a very kind, funny and strong man. He stood for what he believed in and we truly admired that about him.
We knew he had been suffering for many years and now he can rest in peace and we are sure he is looking down on you at this very moment.
We know words are of very little comfort during this time and we believe if you trust in your GOD-things will work out the way they are suppose to and that everything has a purpose.

Bill and the family , Richard will be missed. There will be times when you fell lost without him, think of the good time you spend together. I got to know Richard at VA Hospital some years ago and he was a true friend , He cares about people and he was always willing to give a helping hand when needed. I will miss him also and may the peace of God be with you'll. Be strong and we are just a phone call way.

The Indian Poet Rabindrath Tagore wrote: "Death is not the extinguishing of the light, it is the putting out of the lamp for the dawn has come." I thank LIFE itself for the gift of Richard's humor and courage and strength in being on deck with a core group of Veterans Administration Employees working for LGBT and human rights in the workplace in the late 1980's and 1990's and beyond. His presence was a visible lifeline to those of us beyond the beltway clinging to HOPE.
My prayers go forth to his husband Bill, who he loved so; that fond memories and comfort will be on deck and in time the serenity of cherishing the blessings of time with Richard will bring comfort.
