Thank you for letting our community know. I'm terribly sorry that he's gone. Many of us grew as writers from reading his work and style. I'm thankful to have had creative interactions with him.

Is it the same person who died recently? I'm not sure, but I'm so sorry for your loss of a good friend and member.

I am saddened to hear this news. Richard was a constant back when I frequently visited. As I recall, he was a calming force when others needed calming. (It was a crazy time at Neo, way back then) My condolences to those that knew him well.
