Richard touched many and so he lives on. Following below are a few of the ways he affected those lives and the world around him: tributes, memories, stories, comments, observations, expressions of grief and gratitude, sympathy and encouragement, sorrow and hope... ...And hopefully as time goes by, support for each other in carrying on those principles and lessons that meant so much to Rick...working to preach these "last" best hopes, both the "how's" and the "why's".

Best evidence...

  1. My name is Angela Pupino an I met Rick about this time last year. He really reached out to me and as my mom says "took me under his wing". This winter I was having some problems at home and I saw no hope in myself or the world. Rick, although he didn't know it, helped me hope and dream again, and gain confidence in myself. I really didn't know him for very long, but he touched my life in so many ways. I don't know what he saw in a twelve year old who had no friends her own age, but he must have seen something. I am honored I knew him.

  5. I was reminded of Rick last night. I was flying back from EWR to SEA last night, and I was able to see quite an impressive Aurora from the north side of the plane.

    So I got home, and looked north, to stare into the quad-beams from the local brandy-new megachurch a half-mile north of me.

    Could I see the aurora? Um, no, but I could see the bajillion-lux lights from the "Washington Cathedral".

    Rick, and our discussions on light pollution, immediately came to mind. (sigh, sniffle)

  8. Cured from Herpes Simplex Virus 1
    Most people have herpes in one form or another, as for me I contacted my HSV 1 from my fiancee, I discorvered little sore on my lip, I taught it was normal skin irritation not knowing it was sign of Herpes virus. I went for a test and my result came out positive and I was told by my doctor that there was no cure yet. Which really affected my life. becuase of the stigma the virus carries. I was using Famvir drugs which reduces the outbreaks for a period of time but it is not a total cure. I came across a testimony on youtube about a lady that was cured from Genital herpes by Dr. Ahmed Usman Herbal Medicine. I showed the testimony to my fiancee who discouraged me for contacting the doctor. But because I was so despirate to cure mine I contacted Dr. Ahmed with the email I found on the testimony, which he replied minutes later and asked me the type of HSV I have. After much discussion he decided to call me so that I won't feel he is a scammer. He sent the Herbal Medicine to my country which I took for two weeks with the doctor prescription. The sores in my lip was gone and I felt different. So I went for a check-up and my result came out negative. My fiancee was surprised and he ordered for his Medicine too from Dr. Ahmed which he is taking recetly. Please don't let anyone discouraged you. No harm in trying. This is Doctor Ahmed Usman email address; drahmedusman5104@gmail.com or Whatsapp +2348064460510. I hope you get cured like me and others out there.
