After two years, I never get used to hearing this.

He was a very nice guy. A gentleman. Wish we could have had more time to get to know him.

My sincere condolences to his wife & daughters. Such sad news.

Richard, rest easy, finally at peace, your journey has ended.

Thank you for enriching my life, the time was too brief.

When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
when sorrows like sea billows roll;
whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say,
It is well, it is well with my soul.

RIP Richard.

Just thought I'd quote his final post, as it really struck a chord with me.

Hello all,

Monday I was admitted into the hospital with the worst pain I have ever had. I was released today under hospice care. IV pain meds at home, hospital bed, and around the clock nursing if need be.

Thanks to everyone who has helped me through this journey. I have finally had "the talk" with my daughters. Hardest thing I have ever done.
We are all at peace. Mom is still a work in progress. She can't sleep and won't look for help. If you are praying person, pray for her.
Good thoughts also appreciated. Mike Golic, host of ESPN's Mike & Mike, actually tweeted me his good thoughts. I thought it was cool. Anyway, I will keep y'all updated as long as I possibly can.

My wife has taken a leave of absence from work to be with me. That means the world to me.

For all you out there, keep fighting. I don't regret any treatment I've had to prolong my life. Love all my CT friends. Peace!
