Sad. Rough second half that guy had, but the first half of his life was huge. And influential.

Really, really sad the way that man had to suffer for his demons. God he was great, though. He actually had a super-tough early life I think, then huge success of course, then tough again.
His pain was what made him so brilliant, he turned it into lemonade.

I was pretty shocked by the news. I agree about the second half of his life. He deserved better....MUCH better...

Every successful comic (last 25 years) that does stand-up owes their entire career to Richard. His timing, inflection and the way he 'stalked' the stage was a lesson to all in how to do stand-up.
There will be no other as great......................IMO
