So sorry to hear Richard has past and my condolences to his family. I met Richard in the 70's through my husband , we were close friends and it was Richard that inspired me to be a foster parent. We all spent time listening to music and we would play backgammon and most the time he would beat me and when i would win he would always one to play one more game . You have given us the gift of so many good memories.
I remember Richard as being a great friend with a
Great personality may he now RIP
I have so many Richard memories & I am going to miss him so much. He's been in my phone as "2nd Dad" for over 10 years, and he'll remain in there that way.
There were no Patty shows like the ones with him, crashing outside venues, sing alongs, duets at jam sessions. He was one of a kind, and will be missed!
Leaving Rams Head Tavern one night after a show and some drinks, he put his arms around my shoulders and said "Nicole, you're my other soul mate!". It stuck. Ever birthday wish would be "Happy Birthday Soul Mate!"
I will miss hearing his voice, but grateful for so many memories and so many good times!
Dear Patty, Sam, Jesse and Baker family,
We are all thinking of you so much and want to express our heartfelt condolences . We have so many great memories of Richard playing music , trick or treating in Colonial Village .
Sending you all support and love
and comfort.
Leslie, David , Jess and Ben Portney
I knew Richard since we were 5 years old. Going through many iterations of change, growth, challenge, years of being out of touch, life experiences, and reconnecting later in life the one constant is the love and respect that I had for him. You will be dearly missed my friend!!
Knowing Richard since we were 5 years old leaves me absolutely grief stricken with his passing. He was a dear friend, a productive and contributing member of society, and he had a circle of dear friends and a loving family. So many memories that I will Cher and hold close to my heart. You will be sorely missed my dear friend!
With great sadness "BakerByrd" has taken his final "Flyte". Hopefully he has found "Shelter from the Storm". May the family find comfort. Go ride the music… Neil & Lois Cohen
