I'm so sad to here of his passing. I used to work with his daughter in law at a Swiss company. When she told me her father-in-law was an astronaut, I told her of my passion for the US space program.

At one point, I worked on a design for the Michael J. Fox organization dog tag for Parkinson's disease, I sent one of the dog tags I designed to astronaut Clifford as a gift. Shortly after sending him the dog tag, astronaut Clifford called me to thank me. We spoke for about an hour about his space flights and his experience spacewalking. I will never forget our conversation!

God bless him!!!

Really sad news. STS-59 was the first space shuttle Launch I saw from Titusville. It was my second attempt at watching a launch from Florida. All the astronauts of STS-59 and the fact it was Endeavour, the replacement for Challenger, will always be special to me.

RIP Rich, you are now on a High Flight.
