Wow, that's a shock. We were bantering on FB the day before. I'd known Richard for quite a while. He could be controversial and was always unique. Truly one of a kind. Life is short. Hug the ones you love. My thoughts and prayers for his family. RIP Richard. |

.Quick question though... he was active on Facebook in February, how could he have died in January? |

Per the Facebook activity: This could have been his wife. She was talking about shutting down several online accounts that he had after she figured out how to get access. |

Very sorry to hear this. I had a few dealings with him over the years. Always insightful. Hopefully some of his collection will make it to auction one day. RIP |

His collection will begin being auctioned by RegencySuperior in May. See this topic. |

Richard's many years of collecting/accumulating/selling had a big effect on the space hobby and many collectors - in many ways.Few could rival his vast space collection/accumulation, and those bidding in the up-coming Regency-Superior auctions containing parts of his accumulation will be treated to a wealth of space material.

I am very sorry to hear this. My condolences to his family. I had purchased a couple of items from him last summer and spoke to him via email during the course of a few weeks. It was a pleasure to converse with him. A very interesting person who had the opportunity to go places and know people most of us will only read about. |
