To all who have corresponded with Richard over the years.  
March 18 Richard became very ill and I (Deb) his wife took him to
the Emergency Room.  Richard went through a very difficult month
in the ICU and then was taken off the ventilator and dialysis.
We then went to Dougherty Hospice House where he peacefully slipped
away April 20, 2012.  

I don't know his newsgroup corresponders but I wanted you all to know
why he has quit corresponding.

My condolences.  Richard always came across as a very smart and very cool guy.

News groups are communities of acquaintances with common interests.
This community will miss his many contributions.

I for one will miss his reasoned comments to the endless debates here
on many topics.

My condolences to you and the rest of the family.

Indeed.  A long-term poster who took the time to explain his position on
things and help others.  He'll be missed here.

I'm sorry for your loss (and for ours, which while significant is hardly
comparable).  Richard will be missed.

In addition to postings in the newsgroup, I also exchanged
an email or two with Richard over the years.  Pretty much
at a loss for words.  I sent a personal note to his old
email address (which hasn't bounced), hopefully that will
get through to someone.  My sympathies to Deb, and thank
you to everyone else who responded to the note here.

Richard was a class act in a newsgroup where that is sometimes rare.  My
condolences.

Richard was a decent person, to me at least.  While it saddens me that 
one is gone, I'm surprised at how many of you jerks are still here.
