Thanks for letting us know, very sorry for this loss.

Such awful times for sooo many people this last year.

At 60 I too say 61 is way too young. I lost my brother late last summer to COPD, also a lifelong smoker, he was 70... also too young.

Thank you for posting Glen. I remember seeing RKDinOKC posts through the years. Sad to hear of his passing. My thoughts are with you Richard his family and friends and his Lab. Wishing you all peace and comfort.

Glen, thanks for letting us know. So odd that we get to be friends on this silly site, having not met. This is sad, really sad. I hope you are doing well, as from your friendship his life was good. May he rest peacefully. May your grief be short. Be well.

Glen,

I am VERY sorry to read this but thank you for letting us know. It was a great pleasure to be invited to dinner by your group while I was transitioning to a tour in the sandbox several years ago. I still remember the meal and the kind conversation. Richard's 928 was very nice! I remember a wicked sense of humor and a boyish search for fun. We will say a prayer for him and his family tonight. He is missed.

RIP Richard. He did a great little photoshop of my 911 made it look like a toy car. I'm going to miss him in the "Stijn thread".
