We got home late last night and I just saw this thread this morning. Like many others, I only knew Richard through his wonderful posts. What I've read here enhances the impressions I had of him, and I'm glad his family can read the wonderful remembrances from his friends of a life well lived. I'll certainly miss his presence on our forum.
