at least he enjoyed life while he was living it, more than you can say for a lot of people
i skated with him at an amsterdam comp once (anyone remember IISS?), when he was real young (maybe 16?) and he was doing true kind grinds way before his time and he was just the nicest person ever, always smiling, no arrogance, which is pretty rare these days
anyway, RIP Richard, i hope i can enjoy my life half as much as you enjoyed yours

I know how it feels to lose a homie….but I have yet to experience the loss of an individual’s life whom of which shared the same love and compassion as I do for rollerblading….it feels deeper then some if not most events in life….
