A truly amazing person that I am glad to have known even if it were for a short time. We could all learn a thing or two from the way he lived.

I smile when I have thoughts of Scooter. Maybe because he always greeted me with that impish smile of his. Richard was one of those "good guys" I have known in life. My heartfelt condolences to Sandy and family.
