I am sorry to have to say that Richard died last night.

I heard from his brother and evidently Richard died in the middle of the night. They are going to have an autopsy done to determine the exact cause.

Richard and I had been friends for about 20 years. For most of the last 9 or 10 years we ate lunch together once per week. He lived just a mile from me and it was always convenient to have each other living close. If he was dropping off his car to be worked on, I could pick him up and he bought lunch for me. On the occasions I had work done on my cars he would pick me up and I bought lunch for him. We never kept score on who owed lunch to whom. Just stuff buddies do for each other.

I will miss his weird sense of humor and his knowledge of email and networking and his company.

When I see the obituary in the local paper I will post a link for you and start a post on the board to announce his death to the rest of the folks that knew him.
