Tara and Jenny, Words seem inadequate to express my heartfelt sadness for both your families. There will never be another Richard. But take comfort in knowing he will never be far away. You will always see him in the twinkle of your children’s eyes, expression’s on their faces and in their smiles. Know that you will continue to be in my prayers for the days to come. Deb Sheppard
This is such sad news for me. Lost one of my very best musician pals. Over the years whenever I would see Richard it was like we had just played a gig the night before. Never laughed any harder than when with “Light bulb” Loved that guy.
Richard was my shining light all through my life – we shared so much together – he will always be here – he gave everything he could to us
My deepest sympathies for the family – Richard was my true lifetime friend and he will always be with me – thank you for letting me see him on his last few remaining days with us
