I have read his story more than few years ago. RIP
He and Rick Fearon alternate Saturdays on the Conference Call, he seemed like a truly sincere guy.
I am sad to hear this.

Oh I am so sorry .Does anyone know what happened????I know he had a stroke a few years ago.
SAD DAY.
Thanks for the friendship Richard and the many very long chats on the telephone we shared. You'll now have the reward you were only telling me about last week.
Richard and his wife Frances were very dear friends. Richard had a significant stroke last week and died in his sleep at home last Friday night. He will be sorely missed by his family and hundreds of friends. We know we'll miss his phone calls. He had a raspy, croaky voice due to many little strokes over the past twenty years which affected his vocal cords. But what knowledge he carried in his head about the history of the WT and Adventist religions that we won't be able to hear him tell anymore. All his many friends are shedding tears over his death and he will be sorely missed. Richard left a hole in our world that will never be filled by anyone else. He truly was one of a kind.

I'm sorry to hear of his passing. My wife and I met him a number of years ago at a support group for xjw's. He was fearless in his opposition to the Watchtower and had an encyclopedia full of what was wrong with the organization in his head.
How sad. :( Richard was the very first ex-JW I spoke to. I was sooooo scared. I credit him for helping me overcome some of my fears of "apostates".
Fight well fought Richard...RIP.
