In Loving Memory
Thank you Richard for being such a good friend to Robert Frahm. Through Robert, I met you and became a friend, also. Always looked forward to your posted emails that kept me in touch with the real world. And giving me the opportunity to delve into your incredible mind. You are already greatly missed! (thanks for the chocolates)

I have spent the last two weeks searching for the words that would bring Richard back to us. Of course, there are not any. Richard will live on in our memories and in our hearts. It has been a privilege to have experienced his friendship. I am most appreciative of his decades of activism working to free peoples minds from the shackles of ignorance and superstition created by theism. Goodbye, Dear Friend, you are now free from pain and suffering forever.
