I only knew Richard as an aquaintance over the past few years. However, I had the opportunity to get to know him better in June at the Zone 1 48 Hours at the Glen. It's my loss that I didn't do this sooner. Richard was very friendly and open with a great passion for our hobby and much wisdom to share. I'll fondly remember the dinner at the Seneca Lodge we enjoyed together with with Ken Jensen.

God's speed Richard!

No it was not him. He had a silver 996 GT3, that Courtney serviced.
