With deep sadness we received your message of Richard's passing away.
Words cannot describe the sorrow, all of us feel.
But our thoughts go out to Dorothy, and may the Lord comfort her in this
hard time of such an enormous loss.

What a pioneer Richard was! He will be greatly missed also by all of us
from the meteorite collectors community.

Our deepest condolence to Dorothy.
