Terrible, heart-breaking news. Rich and I never met in person, but we shared a lot of the same beliefs, and we PM'd them mostly. We have been talking since the old IMDb days. Wow. And not so much lately, but I kept up and knew that he was happier now than ever in his life.
He is a wonderful man--beautiful inside and out.
All consolation to Elizabeth, the light of his life, and to Gene, the love of his life.
Bless you Chuck, Truman, Paul, and all his friends and loved ones. I know you are devastated. As we all are that this has happened. I'm so sorry and will keep my prayers going up.
