Condolence: Richard,

You were a great person with far reaching adventures that i learned from and enjoyed hearing at the Apple Store while the storm of customers enveloped us all.

Richard will be sorely missed as he is type of person the world needs more of. May he dive deep forever more within his dreams!

Condolence: Richard will be greatly missed. We used to bicker and argue, him calling me a "young thing trying to change things and take over" but I don't think he knew how much he taught me and shaped me. I'll always remember his sarcasm and the times we would laugh about life and people who would come into the store. Richard, you changed many lives, not just mine, and the world was a better place because of you!

Condolence: To meet Richard and speak to him for a few minutes made you a student in a classroom full of practical knowledge. You learned from him compassion, practicality, random facts, and thankfulness. To know him was to love him and he certainly impacted so many in a way that is unmatched. I hope that his spirit continues to live on through others and that his family is at peace knowing that he has imprinted a mark not only on them; but so many others!

Condolence From: Martha and Robert Ingel
Condolence: It is with an immensely heavy heart that we say goodbye to Richard...a decent and light-hearted part of our lives always. Richard got me and Robert through so many rough days with his gentle and steady presence. He was unwavering in his kindness and friendship and improved so many days with his easy-going personality. Sometimes folks at the Apple Store in SouthPark would get Robert and Richard mixed up. They both enjoyed many chuckles about that. I will never forget all the times that Richard sat with Robert in the hospital so that I could get even a few minutes break, nor the times he helped me keep vigil while Robert was in surgery or poised on the edge of a precipice. Richard really helped me stay sane when fear could have easily pulled me under. He was just there...anytime he was needed. He enjoyed just sitting and chatting with Robert, shooting the breeze and keeping Robert engaged and looking outward when pain and sickness really were pulling him into an abyss. So many hospital visits...so many evenings sitting and chatting while on dialysis...holding space and keeping company. Richard and Rachel and Tom, made what could have been the most miserable Thanksgiving in the hospital, a bearable time. They packed up the meal they were going to have together and brought it to us in Progressive Care donning hospital gowns to eat our meal. After Richard moved back to Texas to be closer to his family we continued to share so many visits via FaceTime. It is so hard to believe we can't just pick up the phone and get caught up again. Richard drove that crazy Corvette all the way from Texas to Charlotte, just to say hi for a couple days. We shared so many good times in the last 8 years. Rest in peace dear friend. DPR and I send you love and Light. Waldorf will always miss Statler. You will live forever in our hearts. And to Richard's family...he spoke fondly of you always. We wish you gentle memories to comfort you now.

Condolence From: Morgan T.
Condolence: Richard always had a smile and a warm greeting for me. Only a few Veterans working at Apple Southpark when I was there so we all knew each other and had that bond of shared experience, regardless of generation. Fair winds and following seas Richard.

Condolence: I cannot think about him without smiling. He was such a sweet, gentle, and humble man. I could always count on him to give great hugs and smiles. He will forever warm our hearts with the memories we have created. I am so sorry for your loss.
