Finding out about your death, while casually reading
the Sunday paper, was really a shocking way to learn
that "the teacher" had left us behind; Richard, thanks for all of the lessons of life and your brilliant delivery
technique that your students continue to study.
Thanks for making my sides hurt so badly I literally
laid on the floor laughing, thanks for the commentary
of lifes drama that you only could convey, and thanks for a quote of yours I heard from one of your many interviews " life is cool and shit but one thing you can count on you can't get out alive" -Richard Pryor
