			I was shocked and saddened when I heard the news. It was totally unexpected. He was tough, rugged and when he was in the room you knew who the smartest guy was. I wrote a story in the Parker Pages about hunting with him in Montana several years ago. RIP …

			It is indeed sad to lose one of our own. Unknowingly, I had one of Rich’s Parkers on my watch list. A very high condition grade 2 hammer 10 gauge. When I learned that it was Richard’s gun I felt strongly compelled to try and obtain it. I’m overly sentimental according to my late father. Nevertheless, I am grateful and proud to now own one of Richard’s wonderful Parkers.

			That 10 ga hammer Parker came from Canada. I had come across it, I did not need it, it was high condition and little used. Rich and I talked and Rich acquired it. Good on you and enjoy a fine Parker .

			Rich came back to Michigan about 6 years and I had the opportunity to shoot a round of clays with him.  He was struggling with an eye issue, but still was a delightful companion  on the course and at the lunch table.  RIP
