Comments: This is a long time overdue,I've been meaning to leave a message for a long time now.My memories of Richard still stay with me everyday,and every time I see one of the those little Mercedes on the 405,and every time I get on my bike and head for the hills.He used to ride with me in the L.A. Marathons.The first time he would ride until about the 18 mile mark then when I ask him how he was doing,he would turn to me ,with a wink and a big grin he would start to pull away from me,and there was nothing I could do to stay with him.He was a big powerful man and he loved leaving me behind for a couple miles,I would catch him up ,then he would do it again,we always had a good laugh about that and I miss his sarcasm and wit,but ,most of all he was a kind caring man that thought of everyone else before himself,a rare quality that is found in few.....I think of him daily,and wonder why God in his wisdom took him away from us way too early...I miss our rides even though he would beat me every time,because even though it wasn't a race....it was...Thinking of you Richard,we should have had many more rides,and laughs...

Comments: Janet, it is now sometime after your heartrending loss, but please accept my very belated, but heartfelt condolences. By chance I came across Richards celebration pages online, & was moved & saddened to learn of his passing. Having enjoyed your generous hospitality during a holiday at your home with Karen, many years ago, I experienced the deep, limitless love that you & Richard shared. Those memories are cherished. You are in my thoughts.

Comments: Hello Janet, I wanted to leave some thoughts for you. I just received an email from Allison Wrigley saying that you remembered Richard working with me at St Johns. I did not get to attend his celebration but it looked lovely and I heard from several other nurses that it was exactly what Richard would have wanted. I was deeply touched by his passing and the thing I remember most was how warmly he spoke of you and how lucky we all thought you were. I have thought of him often since his passing and although I never got to meet you I think of you as well. I hope you are well and I hope that time has played at least a small part in the easing of your pain. This website is amazing and thank you for putting it up and sharing this with all of us.

Comments: Been riding your bike lately. I'm in love it's such a great way to exercise and enjoy life. I know you were probably looking down on Janet and I trying to pump up the tires and laughing but I've got it all sorted out now. Going to try and do the 100 miles for you at either the Solvang or Wild Flower. Wish you were here to show me proper riding skills. Love you and miss you forever in my thoughts

Comments: Richard, I never ever met you once in my life, but hearing the funny stories from Eunice makes me feel like I knew you and Janet. Everything was always Janet and Richard this and Janet and Richard that. I saw your Celebration of Life and heard all the speeches and read many entries about you, so when I put everything together it just screams out at me so naturally that you were the most amazing and beautiful soul. Janet the love you and Richard shared was one of a kind and you were definitely meant for each other. I know he is still watching over you. I will miss asking Eunice "tell me the story again" from your vacation adventures, but the stories I have already heard will live in My Heart Forever!!!
