I saw on Facebook and logged in to just say I enjoyed his posts over the years. He built me a set of skates too and they work. I'm sure he is skating in a better place now anyway.

Sad news.
I noticed last summer after he injured his foot-ankle and was on pain reducing medicines his posts were rather less than lucid, and sadly, his last series of posts were similar, I was wondering if he was under medication, well he was very stubborn, being agnostic (me), I know where he is now, but "let's pretend otherwise"... I'm sure that there was a large amount of effort applied by whatever powers that be to get him to change locations. |

Persistent and consistant he was, one that never gave up on his beliefs. RIP Richard, you will be missed.
