> illness.
> 
> I had known fot quite some time that Richard was in poor
> health, still the  news of his death came as a shock. Last
> time I called Dorothy, I heard piano  playing in the
> background, Chopin and very good, I thought it was a CD 
> playing or the radio, but Dorothy told me it was Richard,
> and we stopped a  moment to listen, it was beautiful, I
> had no idea Richard was such a virtuoso. I had met Richard
> and Dorothy several years ago in Tucson, Thanks to Twink. 
> I was very much a new comer then , and I found Richard to
> be bright,  friendly, funny and so approchable. I still
> remember showing him a slice of  Tafassasset, he looked at
> it with his loupe for quite a while, then told me that 
> this meteorite left him speechless. Dorothy laughed,
> apparently Richard was  rarely speechless.
> 
> And now there is that great big hole in the middle of the
> Meteorite  Community.
